I like his surroundings Ken. I would selectively sharpen the cub.

Ken - very cute and I like the comp with the surrounding foliage. IQ seems to have held up well to the crop.

like the inquisitive look here from the dense lush bushes Ken
nice eye contact and colour contrasts between the tawny lion and green foliage

I agree with Robert on selective sharpening - for me it will work on the face :)

Nice image Ken. I like the included habitat inn this shot.

[Russell Johnson]

Nice clean image with all that foilage about.

Thanks for all of your comments it seems that sharpening is becoming a problem for some, looks OK on Tiff.

The lush vegetation really enhance here Ken, good POV and eye contact, agree on a touch more USM on the cub.
