Hi Vivaldo,
I like the composition, DOF and action caught in this image.
The tongue and light in the eye also contribute in a positive way.
I would have preferred a darker BKGR but that looks to have been out of the question from what we see here.

Nice comp Vivaldo. Good and sharp with nice exposure. Well done.

The pose and the tongue make this one special, Vivaldo.
Austin makes a good point re the background but overall it is a really beautiful image. The eye and tongue are really great.
I liked this very much as posted , excellent image

The Lion is great, beautiful pose and great eye and tongue.
Seems you had pretty good sightings in Nxai pan.
Backgrounds like this are largely unavoidable in Africa, the ET's are not that bad.
Prefer the previous posting Vivaldo.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Well done on all counts here Viv, nice lighting, comp and showing off that pink tongue very well.

Yes, the BG can be better but by degrees. I think the overall effect is what counts and I think you have captured the lion well. I like this image so well-done!
I prefer this one..The pose is fantastic and IQ looks better (more detail)...The eyes look great
Vivaldo - nice pose, comp and the tongue really makes the image.
TFS,

I agree with this, far better to have some "action" rather then the traditional lying around pose.Originally Posted by Dumay Boulle
