Hi Sanjeev, I like the head on fixed gaze and open mouth, but feel the subject is a little lost within frame, coming in slightly on the crop would I feel help the image overall. The SS appears a tad high, 1/2000 would have been fine, any reason for the high SS, or perhaps this was from a previous encounter?

Upping the exposure by a third of a stop again and both Temp & Tint to say -5 (personal pref) gets the colour to a better point IMHO, you can then address if you wish, other colours, shadows, HL and if you so wish any Tonal Curve adjustment within ACR.

cool looking lion here like the eye contact and the composition.

Hi Sanjeev - Nice look at him. Hopefully his mane will grow in. I don't mind the negative space of the op. I think somewhere between your op and Steve's rp in terms of exp but colors do look better in the rp.

TFS,

Indeed a subadult and probably a naughty boy too?

Nice POV and good choice of DoF. The eye contact makes this image for me.

I also like the tighter framing and subtle tweaks in terms of colour in Steve's RP.

Lovely image Sanjeev, I really enjoyed viewing:S3:

Kind regards,

Nice frame here Sanjeev with the direct stare and the relatively low shooting angle.

Techs wise I think Steves RP has the nicer colours but I prefer the exposure on yours
