    A pleasing portrait here Doc.
    I might consider toning down BG brightness through a luminosity mask?

    Very nice detail here.. BG is far enough behind the subject that it softens nicely. Great sharpness and detail also!

    Yep, agree with Dale & Morkel here the details and techs are looking good, might just reduce the lights round the back of the mane a tad.

    Hello Sanjeev!

    I am very impressed with your PP work, you've so nailed this one! Should someone ask you what kind of photography you are into, say "I specialise in lion portraits"

    This is just lovely, I like the warmth, the detail, beautiful pose from the little one, pleasing BG, image well presented - no crits from me, and I guess congratulations are in order? Well done my friend

    Have a super week-end, more lions please

    Fantastic details, and I like the head turn. The angle of light really helped here, and super separation between subject and BG.

    Hi Sanjeev, torn between the two posting, but both look well captured and processed, nice balance tonally. Personally I would remove the two darker marks on the LHS in the BKG, makes for a 'cleaner' shot. BKG gives nice separation and standout.
