This taken in May of 2007 at Leopard Hills camp in South Africa. About late afternoon if I remember. We in the Land Rover were in a small gully, dry river bed, and lion was up on bank. And that is what I like most about the image, its perspective. Many times you are looking somewhat down - unless elephants :). Also the strong side lighting, right eye is in strong sunlight and eye contact. But enough about me :) -

Cropping - yes, about 10-15% around all sides. And that extra original space makes for interesting crop choices. I put his head just right of center. No cloning. Usual choices on white balance, saturation, etc.
Image is sRGB which should look same color for all of us. Thanks for your comments and feel free to re-work and post.
