Pilanesburg Lioness

[Dumay de Boulle]

I really like the light with the green and the flowers, different to the usual Savannah colors

A nice clean image Dumay. Good DOF and pleasant lighting. Nice to see the eye lit up.

I might shave some off the RHS to move the head off centre.

Cheers

Nice looking cat Dumay. Agree with Austin on the dof, nice and sharp where it needs to be leaving nice oof fg and bg. Well done.

The environment is a nice change of pace. Though I understand where Austin is coming from on the crop suggest, I think it looks AOK to me.

Dumay - nice detail and I like that the lioness is angled in the frame. I too like the unusual colors and nice lighting.

TFS,

Great image, nice light, ...especially love the background as it pops the coat-tone of the lioness.

[DanWalters]

Really nice light and color. Very clean looking image as well.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Great pop of the cat against the green background and nice sharpness and DOF. I think I might try a slightly different crop. JR

[Morkel Erasmus]

nice light, nice greens, nice cat! :)

I am fine with the composition as presented as I also tend to prefer including more space to "walk into" rather than less
