This Lioness was barely one and half feet away from me

Harshad, nice shot.
There is a tilt, but that works ok.
What's that orange spot near right hind knee?

[gail bisson]

I would definitely do a CC rotation. what is the orange spot by the left leg? I think for the idea behind this image to work, you need to have a lower point of view,

Love this lion's eye view here Harshad, agree on the CCR to take this up a notch, do you have any more room above?, if not, I fear if cropped to level may take away the sky?
The orange spot on the hind leg might be lens flare from the 18-55.
The shafts of light through the crater are depicted nicely, it's truly an inspiring location.:cheers:

Harshad,

I like the idea of this but for almost the first time find the rotation a little disturbing. As I know you do not like to clone etc, I have had a go myself. The orange spot certainly looks like lens flare to me

Here is a repost

[RakeshDhareshwar]

The perspective is killer . Nice quick thinking to make the image . Ken's repost takes it over the top .

[Morkel Erasmus]

Super perspective, I really like it! :bg3:
The orange spot is definitely lens flare. I do think the tilt could be adjusted - and I think the ideal colour is somewhere between your OP and Ken's version? :w3

[Dumay de Boulle]

Aamzing point of view and well seen from you. Lovely idea and the straightened horizon in kens post works well.

[Russell Johnson]

Interesting perspective - I would agree with Gail that being eye level would be the best position.

Somewhere in between Ken's and the the OP for me.
