    I photographed this young male lion in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park last week. Not the most impressive specimen but I thought the early morning side-lighting and smooth background created a pleasant look. All comments welcome.

    Great eye contact, and I really like the way that the side light creates subtle shadows that still retain great detail on his face and neck.

    Hi Chris,
    All looks very good on this end. Just a very nice portrait and both eyes well lit. The clean BG also add and IMO is a perfect lion portrait!
