    Young Male we see a lot along the Sabi River...Hopefully he will survive to be a king of the River and Pride one day.

    Please no comments regarding SS and ISO...I know the song! The image is sharp and thats all that matters to me....If it wasn't I wouldn't use it!

    Thanks for looking

    Hi Dumay lovely butt shot
    Well the shoulder look adds interest to the frame , but for me this is not recovering for the not ideal POV IMHO ! If it would have been possible to get a lower POV ... it might have looked a bit better , well maybe .
    Very nice natural looking color rendering .... and very pleasing overall tonal range . I think you can loose some of the top to avoid the other side of the river bank .

    Thanks for the feedback Andreas...I wasn't a 100% certain about this one. I suppose its my love for the Sabi River that made it more appealing. Different to my normal stuff

    Hi Dumay - Nicely processed and yes, a bit different than your usual posts. Andreas has nicely summed up my thoughts as well.

    TFS,

    Hi Dumay -- A very different shot when it comes to a lion image and you have done well with the exposure , gets difficult sometime against a shimmering backdrop, nice details and colours . Agree with the crop suggestion but a nice over the shoulder look which i quite liked .

    TFS !

    Lovely shot Dumay, I like the pose, I would suggest 1.5cm off the top and 1cm off the base.

    Very nice one Dumay. I would shave some off the top to lose the "riverbank" on the top edge?
