Quintessentially African scene, with a good narrative to accompany it. I particularly like the dust being raised as the lion walks along. Adds a nice touch to the arid landscape.

Hi Gabriela - I'm glad you posted this for the theme. It is a classic scene and his full belly is apparent. I like the walking pose and the kicked up dust. I would put some of the space you took from the lhs back for him to walk into. I understand that you wanted to include the space on the rhs for the wildebeests but it feels slightly unbalanced to me. I can also see a more pano version working because the sky isn't really adding much here.
TFS,
Rachel

This lion looks like he means business. Neat story to accompany this image. Love all the dust and the out of focus wildebeests.

Hi Gabriela, this is very good with the lion striding on while the nervous Was look on. Techs are great and the colours oh so natural.

Lovely shot reflecting a typical African lion scene Gabriela! Not sure about living up to expectations but it's certainly a neat shot with clear details of the king of the jungle! TFS!

Hi Gabriela -- This is very nice scene with the tension captured beautifully. The dust adds to the scene . Techs and colours look good to me.
I too feel the framing is a bit unbalanced as it needs more space for the lion to walk into. But a lovely scene nonetheless .
TFS !

Like everything about this superb capture, Gabriela including your descriptive behavioral story. The dust adds so much to the quality of the frame, and in such a perfect setting.

Hi Gabriela, I very much like it and it's a different perspective too. I'm sure you posted this before, but revisiting with new skills and PP isn't a problem as the techs look spot on.
Overall the light just seems a bit flat, so I would working to get more colour range back in, plus loose the white 'blob' in the trees to the RHS of the BKG.

Thank you so much Steve,
I have several almost identical frames from this sighting and every now and then I try go back and process one better. Not sure what the "blob" is but I will check it out, funny I did not notice it when I was processing or maybe I am just so used to its presence that it did not bug me:)
Let me see what I can do about this, so fond of this image that I really don't mind spending a little more time on it. BTW I think my previous version was a B/W, I guess I prefer the colour one...
Have a wonderful evening, and I really appreciate you taking the time to help with this one, many thanks again
Warmest regards,
