Hope you don't mind me playing around with your photo.

You can only see EXIF info for this image if you are logged in.

What I like to do in similar situations is to desaturate and darken the background a bit. Just a select subject mask, a brightness layer and a hue/saturation layer.

Thank you all for the compliment. I took the image from a game vehicle in Sabie Game Reserve, South Africa, so not allowed to get lower on to the ground :) Below is the uncropped version on LR and below that from NX Studio showing focul point. Perhaps focul point could have been on their eyes and instead of Dynamic (Matrix) area AF I could have used single-point AF? (Does anyone know how to show focul point in LR for Nikon Z6?)

Cropped further which I think improves the image.

Focus Point on Lightroom - I found it under Library/ plug-in extras [the last item in the drop down menu]. BUT it doesn't seem to work on Z7 files, which are all I have on my laptop. I usually look on Capture NX when I want to see if my problem is operator error.
