Another stare ( Repost following crash)

[Mark Wiseman]

This is an image I posted just prior to the crash. It is one of my favourites and I am particularly happy with the reflection in the water, the low POV, detail and the right eye of the subadult lion as part of the reflection. I took this image in the early morning at Polentswa waterhole in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
Camera details:
Nikon D3s
Nikon 600mm f4 VR
Manual mode
Auto ISO 720
Aperture f7.1
Shutter speed 1/1250
Image processed in ACR, CS5 and on a 15" MBP.
Any comments and critiques welcome. I will reply following my op tomorrow.

Awesome light and pose! In general, I don't usually like this much room.......but I really like it here as it trails off to dark. Excellent job!

Liked it the first time, when I saw it Mark.
Great perspective and lighting here. (top sig is a little large IMO, but is well hidden in this BG)

Nice colors/light in this one Mark. I like the golden colors being sandwiched by the lavenderish-gray up top and the little bit of blue in the water. Also like the single eye reflection.
