Nice lady with nice detail on the FF shot. I can't comment on the colors since I am on my laptop. TFS.

Hi Harshad, looks as if you were photographing in overcast weather, or before the harsh overhead light, which has helped the textures and detail a lot here. I liked the lionesses pose, and you managed to catch her with no shadows on her pupils, showing their full colour. good to see her tail tip as well. also liked the textures in the lion contrasting with the OOF BG. The two cut-off lions in the BG would have added much if they were not cut in half. Do you have a vertical from this series?
cheers

Took the liberty of running this through Robert A's great tip- luminosity mask in CS5 @ 66% opacity, for a little extra punch in colour & detail, let me know what you think?
