Princely Lion!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A young male lion relaxes on a mound in Mara giving a nice eye level image. Only when he looked straight a blade of grass was covering the face hence went with processing the site pose avoiding that obstruction. Hope you like it.
Thanks for commenting on my earlier posts. Much appreciated.

Hi Sanjeev, a simple portrait again, in some nice light.

I feel getting some 'brightness' back in (not literally using the Brightness slider) and say +8 - 10 of Saturation just perks the whole image up, and the eyes then come to life. The blade on chin isn't a huge issue, simple to remove if you so wish. Techs, I think 1/1600 would have been fine as the subject is static. Good detail overall, DoF works perfectly here compared to the tighter head shot previously, again distance to subject.

Hi Sanjeev - This works very well with nice light and a good low pov. Distant bg and creamy bokeh also add nicely. Grass doesn't bother me here. Dof looks good so does the detail. Nice one.

TFS,
Rachel

Another lovely image Sanjeev, and I particularly like the composition. As well as pose from this little "punk", he is gorgeous by the way.

Perfect DoF and nice separation between subject and BG, super techs.

Nice PP work too, would love to see you implement Steve's suggestions and bring even more life to your gorgeous subject

Really enjoyed this, thank you so much for sharing!

Kind regards,

HI Sanjeev -- A lovely image indeed ! Loved the Clean BKG and the regal pose. Excellent details in the subject and nice DOF as well . Very nicely done . TFS !

I like the image but I feel it needs a little pop, a little more colour, (i.e. lower the brightest elements a tad and increase contrast just a little).
