Harshad,

Lovely detail in this one Harshad, I am sure somebody will comment on the green grass. I would suggest taking a little from the bottom not forgetting to leave room for the "virtual" legs.

[Nancy Bell]

I love the rich buffy golds of both the lion and the waving grasses. There is nice tension in that the lion is standing still but I can almost feel him beathing deep and thinking about his next action. I suppose I would have preferred not to have that lump of grass directly in front of the lion, but that is where he stood.

Loving the soft/diffused lighting and overall colour here Harshad. Agree with Ken on some lower FG crop.

Very nice, love the comp and colors...Also like the suggestion re crop from the bottom.

[Pieter de Waal]

Nice soft light and colours Harshad. Like the windswept mane, I would also consider a little off the bottom. TFS

[Rachel Hollander]

Harshad - I like the feel of this, sort of a surveying his kingdom. Good suggestions about crop above.

TFS,
Rachel

loved the soft light and the grace on his face... agree about the grass ahead of him.

I like this one Harshad. The windswept grasses and mane give a nice sense of the breeze on the plains. No problems with the grassy mound, it lines up nicely under his chin. A little off the bottom wouldn't hurt but I don't mind it as posted.

[Morkel Erasmus]

I can see this working with some off the top or bottom, but nice as posted too :bg3:.
Lovely colours and pose...
