gorgeous light here Ben...although overall it seems just a tad underexposed to my eye
I also think the composition would have been stronger if the lioness looking back was more to the RHS. I don't mind the shot looking over the OOF lying pride, but do you also have a smidge to add to the bottom?

[BenBotha]

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a little at the bottom. I am not happy with the sharpness-much better in CR5 before the post.

I enjoy the warm tones of the image. The subjects convey a sense of a lazy morning. Very nice. I agree with Morkel's comp suggestion.

[Nancy Bell]

This is a different view of lions and really is the way they spend a good part of the day. I do like the perspective and also agree with Morkel's comp suggestion.

Repost with more fore ground an more space to the right.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Ben, do you sharpen after resizing?

repost looks better...I would still have a little less room on top

[Robert Amoruso]

Ben, nice repost. As Morkel suggested some more of a crop from the top and I think cropping from the right and moving the lion to the right better balances the image.
