    Hi Bibhav and welcome.

    Good choice to keep the tree in, think if you were to add a bit more in Curves to give the image a bit more 'pop' the image would have a bit more 'guts' to it. Plus in Levels bringing in the LH slider to say 10 & the RH slider to say 250. You could consider also loosing a little off the RHS, but personal choice. Also with a shot like this I might have gone to say ISO400 just to give a bit more SS.

    Look forward to more soon.

    TFS

    Always good to see images of these lions! Good points raised above. My eye gets thrown a bit with the upright tree and the "sloping" lion...was it lying on a downward slope?
