Love the early light and front on POV Ken, low perspective also suits.

Ken - nice walking pose and POV. I'd prefer a little more room at the bottom for him to move into. Is this ff?

TFS,
Rachel

Beautiful light, nice pose and spot on techs. What more could you ask for. Well done.

The eye is alive Ken thanks to the low angle of light and your POV.

Good clean complementing BKGR.

It shows character. Nicely done.

Cheers

Thanks to every body for your comments.

Rachel,

This is not FF, there is room at the bottom but is is largely what would be called "whitewash" on the Avian forum. (Pesky Elephants)

[Lorant Voros]

Very expressive image. Was he still with the pride?
I'd prefer it with some more room on the bottom, but understand the problems you got with that :-). Very nice image, well done.
