    Dear All

    This particular image design was in my mind since my first visit to Africa. In childhood I have seen so many Lion king cartoons and this pose was embedded in my mind. It took three trips to get this shot.

    D3 , 200-400/F4 at F5.6 , 1/800 ISO 800 nearly FF , HH

    All C & C are most welcome

    very very nice. I really like the BG. Its color and patterns compliment perfectly the lion's color and patterns. I might be tempted to crop just a little from the right side.

    A beautiful photo that really captures how magnificent these cats are. I agree that the BG is perfect for the coloration in the lion. Great shot.

    Harshad - beautifully captured. The muted colors of the face work well with the bg and the gaze is intense. Ironically, it gives the sense of certain gentleness to the lion.

    You know my thoughts already on this Harshad, but agree with Tom, a little off the RHS wouldn't hurt.

    Interesting to notice the difference in both camera & processing when you compare the Tiger cub and this. This is certainly a cool image in so many ways.
