Thank you for looking.
Haim,
Great details in the face and main and front paws. I like how the gaze, paws and body face left. Would have preferred not seeing the rear paw clipped at the image's edge.
Ditto the back paws being clipped. Great look in his eye, very nice color and detail.
Love the low angle and the golden light. The eyes really tell a story.
Nice image. I like the low angle. I wish more space at the left of the frame. That would have helped with the paws being intact.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
Very nice image Haim, pity about the paw. The detail in the eye and the angle of the shot makes this image.
I like the insect in front of his eye. (Others may not)
Lovely light and low view Haim. If you have the room, be nice to have more space on the left which will also fix the clipped feet. Beautiful shot all the same.
This is beauty , agreed with suggations ,

Love the warm light and the pose. Agree that the lens could have been pointed a bit more to the right. Or, simply creating two images for a stitched pano might have been even better. For a print, you might consider losing the one large and one tiny bit of grass in that beautiful black mane.
As beautiful as the image is, clipping that paw with the frame edge brings it down several notches. Do you have any others that are framed differently that include the offending paw with a border?

Beautiful light and pose, and very nice specimen. Flaws have been pointed out. I'd crop the clipped paw.
Thank you Artie and thank you all.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
This is the only one I have with open eyes and it's a FF.
Sorry but I didn't thought during the shoot that the rear paw (in any case they are OFF) is very important to the whole scene.
What I was thinking during the shot (and still I'm) is that the big head pose eye open and the light made it as a good picture.
Once more thank you for your great comments.
