    My first post here in OOTB so all comments welcome. This male lion was lying with his head up half awake and kept looking towards me with one eye........taken in the Greater Kruger area of South Africa

    Hi Andrew, and welcome to OOTB! That eye is really compelling and I like the tone you have applied. Nice composition too with the curve running from one corner to the other. Very well done. I hope to see more of your work here! :cool:

    Hi Andrew, and big welcome to OOTB. Beautiful first post. That eye draws you right into the image. I like the color toning and the unique composition.

    To echo what Denise said, I like the unusual comp and the colored eye really makes the image for me.

    Hey Andrew, Good to see you here. I love the concept but moving the eye tighter into a corner would strengthen it considerably. I think :)

    That is a killer eye! Artie's repost makes it really a strong composition. Thanks for sharing.

    Andrew, welcome to OOTB! I love this image - it reminds me of a Nick Brandt image with color added. Beautifully done and I think Artie's post makes it even better.
