    I do like the comp, colours & visual content here Hilary, however can I ask, 'Have you enhanced the sky with an ND filter or Gradient tool at all?' As the tonal range looks consistent across the image.

    Steve;)

    Steve, no neutral density on this image. I have some sky which I cropped out that had some bright patches in it. I did take a ND filter but to be honest I was too lazy to use it, it is such a fuss to put on and take off! Sad really. :)

    Great "lionscape". Beautiful light in the foreground and amazing colors in the sky.

    I like the position of the cat in the frame. Great composition!

    Hilary,

    I like the transition from the FG bright to BG dark - adds great depth.

    The lion on the right and the tree on the left balance well though I would have preferred the tree not to have been so close to the edge of the image as it appears to cramp to left side of the frame.

    I like the contrast of sunlight and dark skies and the open expanse of the habitat.

    Ho ho! What a scape! The shadow cast by the giant cloud, and the selective and dramatic lighting resulting therefrom, is what makes this image spectacular!
