    OK, keeping the theme going of Big Cats, here is a closer view point:D

    BTW, The green object in the corner of the eye is an aphid. Next post will not be a Big Cat ;)

    Like the reflection of the sun, though the light is a little harsh.

    Would prefer a lower POV to get a better a view of the eye.....though not always possible when on a safari vehicle!

    Russell, occassionally I do push it in getting my some of my shots, however I was happy to get this low down. Any lower and I might have been getting very close and personal. LOL

    I pushed the curves a fraction as I wanted a bit more contrast/depth in the overall image, the original is a bit less moody.

    cheers

    Steve,

    I like this in spite of the shadow in the eye, are you planning a book cover?

    Like it as well Steve, nice work on the contrast, would make an ideal front cover.;)
    Another 3mm lower to reveal the whole iris would have been perfect.

    I agree with Marc. Just a wee bit lower would have been great. However, you may already be working on the limit. Overall, I like the composition and the image.

    Love the tight crop and the detail in the face. The warm light really brings out the eye.
