This image was taken a couple of years ago at Lion Country Safari, prior to their install the cyclone fence between the lions and the visitors. It was one of the last non fence images I was able to get. Now I have to time it to miss the fence reflections.
Modifications included; Topaz Adjust and adjustments in CS4.
Enjoy!

Mark, The mixed lighting is a bit distracting even with the theme. Nice pose, does seem a tiny bit tight on top.

Mark, Nice pose and composition. I find the mixed lighting a little distracting as Denise mentioned, though not too much. I like the color tones.

I also like the pose and tones...wonder what it would look like frameless? or just with the thin white border...keep them coming Mark

Hi Mark, a little contrasty across the face but the image is good for the theme. I would likely take the upper left corner and bring it to black. Seems a little tight on the right with the ear touching the frame. Nice colors and I like that gaze.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
Paul, as you know, I like frames. I appreciate your comment and no problem with it. However, to me ... personally, unframed images are unfinished images. I've been experimenting a little with colored matt areas lately and not sure if they all work, but ... that is why they are posted! ;):D Make A Great Day! ;)

Like the pose and the lighting Mark, just wish for more clarity on the right eye. But it does well for the theme.

??? The right eye ??? Not sure what you want as it appears clear on my screen. :confused:
