Hi Rachel, I like the interplay of shadows and light here. Very good detail and sinister stare from the lion. TFS.

Hi Rachel, I really like the idea, but feel I want more below and less above. I would try to vary the the darkness in tonal regions to create more depth, it just looks too flat and a bit 'processed' in it's look & feel to my eyes, sorry.

Hi Rachel -- I liked the concept but I am completely on the same page with Steve , as it is not appearing as natural as it could well have been also the clipped paw at the bottom is a bit bothersome here .

Thanks guys. I can play with it a bit more. I used the radial filter to darken the areas so can try a few other things to vary it a bit more tonally.
Thanks again,

I like the light/shading across the face Rachel,
but I'm wondering if it might work best if you completely darken the darks for the BG foliage and reduce the shadow on the lions face by another stop for more impact?

Rachel I also feel you could lose some off the top - good key lighting effect here, and could work well in mono too?
Good suggestion by Marc for some tweaks...
