Hi Rachel -- Lovely Portrait ! Superb details and Sharpness , like the framing as well .
Recently I saw a Lion in Mara with similar markings on both eyes like the one above !

Hi Rachel -- Lovely tight portrait of this magnificent male lion. Great eye contact and light in the eyes. And, great processing too (sharpness, colors, etc. all look good to me). The only thing that is slightly distracting and catches my eye is the tree stump running through behind the ear to the right, but there is nothing really at all that can be done about this and it is certainly not a deal breaker. Hope Steve has recovered from the shock!

Hi Rachel this just simply works
. Tight framing , lovely colors , good tonal range and very nice fine detail and sharpness .. what more to ask for ?
Love the gaze of this big boy , luckily he did not get Mr K into his arms ....

Rachel that's a gorgeous image you have captured the texture of his mane beautifully. I also like his regal pose - something rather superior about his manner don't you think?

Hi Rachel
Love this one!
With that perfect mane hairdo, maybe he was expecting a special guest?
The bit of sunlight filtering trough adds to his mane and size, agree with Jonathan re that Regal look/gaze.
Well done!

Thanks Jon, Andre and Stu. Jon - yes, he was clearly the biggest male in the area at the time and knew it.

Rachel think it's all been well covered above, you must be very proud of this I know I would be.

Hi Rachel, a very regal posting of this guy in some flattering light. Good detail and nicely processed, although I might try to balance out the lighter parts of the grass at the bottom so they almost become tonally as one and less likely to catch the eye, but then you get away from the scene.
Yes, I'm glad he stopped when he did albeit very close to us, as I certainly was in the firing line for his ULTIMATE attention!!!!
