If looks could kill...........

This was the look we got from a very annoyed female Lion that we inadvertently interrupted whilst she was in the throes of embrace with a 3 year old male.

Very intense look, she ir really talking to you!
Since this is a little tight, I'd crop further on top like halfway in her back, to make a very obvious tight compo.

Love the look here... Great detail . A very well done portrait.

[Julie Kenward]

Well, I guess she has a right to be annoyed, eh?:D:eek::D

One thing that bothers me is the clipped highlights above the ear on the right side. Have you tried to tone that down or clone it out at all? I think it would really improve the image.

[Alfred Forns]

Fully agree with comments Would really like to see the tighter crop !!!

[Marc Mol]

Hi Alfred

Have submitted this in another forum, where the overwhelming opinion was for people to
see it in a full frame, so I guess you can't win them all. :D
Here's the tighter crop

I prefer the second post Marc. IMO the legs would have to be completely included when going wider. Nice portrait. Julie has a good point about the highlights though.

The looks says it all. I like the angle.
