    an exquisite lion very well captured Peter
    lovely colour and the light hits him just right

    I quite like the central placement but can see it working with a sliver cropped off the RHS too...

    Great shot. Colors look nice and rich, nicely detailed yet still has a pleasing softness to it, and the pose has a nice head on view but still gives the viewer some glimpse of the body. I wouldn't change a thing on this one.

    The best in the series so far for me. I like the eye contact and detail and the way you have managed the light and bright surroundings in Etosha.

    Peter,

    I would leave this as is, looks great to me.

    One question though is the "smaller" eye damaged?

    Peter,

    I like it too for the reasons mentioned above but would go with some cropping from the left side.

    Peter - Another great image. Nice pose with eye contact, pleasing bg and great color. Looking forward to seeing the cubs.

    Btw curious about Robert's comment about taking some from the lhs because if I cropped at all, it would be a tad from the right.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I love this Peter. The wind swept main and the colors are awesome. IQ and head on pose make the image for me!
