The King strides out.

BJ (Bob Jnr) takes his morning patrol seriously, with a real determination in his stride. Long may these majestic dark mane males continue to dominate the grassland plains.

Hi Marc ... what a great character !!!
He looks really cool and relaxed ... maybe simply ignoring the human fella

Love the low POV and the sky is really nice .Purely as a personal taste ... I might open up the darker range .... gently

Cool image ....

What an awesome image ! Love the POV and the pose. Beautiful cloudy blue sky and savanna habitat. Oh I miss Africa.

Hi Marc -- What a stunner, loved the low POV and the subject is mighty fine looking.

Absolutely loved the image, that skyline strongly adds to the scene, superbly done.

TFS !

Super shot, what a beautiful animal, composition looks good as is exposure. Looks great but I have to confess I was expecting more definition in the fur. Maybe a little texture/clarity/dehaze adjustment would help?

Well compose image, the low POV makes it shine. He looks like he means bussines and the raised left front paw gives induces the sense of movement. Plus the dark clouds in the BG give an intense mood to the composition. If you could get rid of that clump of grass in front of his back foot it would improve the look, but thats just my take,
