Nice and sharp. Not sure of the lighting conditions, but might bring down the color temp slightly. I tried a crop from both sides into a square crop (I know some are not fond of sq crops) and it gives a different feel. Very nice as presented just another option.

Lovely color and pose on this young female Elmar, agree with your nit about being a little tight.
Also the front edges of the face appear over sharpened on my cal monitor.

A 'nice' pose and typifies the stance a lioness makes. Colours aren't a problem, but would agree with Marc about the 'over sharpning' bit which is easy to do. Might lose a tad off the rhs.

Thanks Todd, Marc and Steve for your comments - much appreciated.

Hi Elmar
Looks like a Rhino and Lion NR lioness. Very nice. I do not mind the little space below the paws. IMO. however, I would crop off on the right just pass the top mark that looks like a tick on her shoulder blade. Thanks for the welcome and comment too.

Thanks Callie, this beautie is actually from Addo.
