Great to be so close to the subjects and the expression from the lioness is priceless: claws gripping flesh, a fatal bite... it is final, no escape...
In terms of crop I quite like the OP - IMO the other characters in the frame make it more interesting, lots of drama as the victim is surrounded and no chance of getting away.
You already got a number of suggestions above regarding PP work, all is left for me is to say: try them all and see if you can take this to another level, this is so special a capture and you have nothing to lose. I would add a humble suggestion for some D/B, more burn than dodge if possible, there are certain areas that IMO would benefit from a bit of "pop". Another small thing is that dark shadow at the top RHC - is it a tree? A tad distracting and I would do away with it if this was mine.
Awesome stuff, gripping action, I so look forward to more! I take it this was one of your best trips ever, very excited to see the rest of your frames, do keep them coming:cheers:
Kind regards,
