Give B&W theme another try. Same male lion as previously posted, early morning, but the sun was already a bit intense.

Handheld
Converted to B&W using Nik Silver Flex pro, small detailed extraction to the black mane and the BG (BG was too bright). Cropped slightly for comp left and top, no more room at the bottom.
Thank you for your comments.
