This one really made me LOL, Rakesh. A great comical moment captured here. The grimace is priceless and there is an entire story in this on simple capture.

Very well seen & captured. That is one annoyed lion. I like the IQ and that I can see the flies wings. I can almost feel the texture of the lion's fur.

Lovely detail and love that you left the flies in, many would have removed them, they add to the image and story

Fantastic IQ and lovely color...Love the look on the face, very nice Rakesh

Rakesh, just adding my little say that your IQ in this, is simply superb. Well timed to capture the annoyance from the lion, and the flies add interest. Killer BG.

[Robert Amoruso]

Really cool. Perfect framing and the snarl - obviously meant for the flies.
