Hi Lance - Glad you signed up and great to see you posting! I think you'll recognize some posters as well as some of the subjects in the Wildlife Forum. Intense eye contact and nice b&w treatment.

Rachel:wave:

First thought: great eye contact. Then, seems a bit dark, but then read what time of day it was. Then I noticed the tongue: great capture there.

Hey Lance, good to see you here!
Looking forward to your participation in the wildlife section.
Nice first post - intense stare and good mono treatment (see you've been rocking the B&W of late) :5

Touching on what Hazel said - I think you can dodge the highlights a bit more for better tonal contrast, it would make the lion "pop" a bit more as well. But let's leave the critique for the critique forum :t3

Big warm welcome to you, Lance. What an awesome image you've shared to introduced yourself!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
