    Hi Sanjeev,

    What a beautiful lioness in her prime, well exposed and processed indeed, maybe my version is a bit overdone, but what do you think about this? Not sure you'll like it, just another option with a tighter crop and I tried to get more detail here and there:)

    Is this too tight a frame for your liking?

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Gabriela, I like your tighter crop option and the flip works well too. I can see you have extracted a bit more detail and brightened the eye. Thanks for helping me out. Appreciate it and I like it.

    Lovely image Sanjeev, my taste to a tee. Nice close up with excellent detail. I also prefer your crop and comp.
    Top class PP work! Nicely done!

    Classic pose and framing here, Sanjeev, with good even fall of light (typical overcast mid-late-morning conditions).
    DOF, bokeh and fine detail all nicely handled here.
    I prefer your OP orientation and crop, and I think Gabriela went a bit too far on the eye

    Dear Sanjeev,

    Dumay and Morkel could be right - I might have gone too far:) This was just another option I thought of while viewing...Thank you for considering it anyway, you are such a sport

    Warmest regards,

    Hi Sanjeev - another one where techs and pp look great. I too prefer your OP (sorry Gabriela). Overall, a very nice portrait with good detail and sharpness.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I'm absolutely cool Rachel, and I see I lost some IQ there with the crop... like I said to Sanjeev, I did like his OP very much and had no crits, was just playing around to see what other options were available:)

    Hope you all have a fabulous day,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Loverly capture Sanjeev,sharp with good detail,nice close pose,like the little flys on the face,adds a bit more to the image,but I bet the Lioness does not think so.

    Hi Sanjeev, one of your best, excellent work. I too prefer the OP, but agree that some work in the shadows/blacks would help, and to me, this is where you have to be selective with some specific adjustments within the RAW file, WD.

    Nicely done portrait Sanjeev. The detail is excellent and I like the contours of the muscles in the neck that you've captured.
