    This guy was truly awesome, his power, stature and overall presence was commanding and he had respect, both from the females & myself! Shot last it the morning where the light was harsh, but with a CP it did help to tame things a little.

    Hi Steve - the low pov and angle really helps to emphasize his size and power. Comp works well with him gazing off to the rhs. Exp looks perfect as does your usual techs.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Steve, he looks like a PM indeed, love his mane and powerful face. Although the light was harsh, you controlled the highlights and shadow very well. I just wish I could see his eyes more clearly. Great post.

    Neat angle here Steve. Harsh light well handled as usual. I presume you do have some of him in better light from your trip(s)? Perhaps show us one?

    I really like how you have presented this guy. Shooting upward and the light shining on his face really gives this amazing creature more power in the frame.
