This one rock Mark, love the bushveld scene. Out of focus lions in the background work nicely and add interest.

Just wonderful picture. I like the soft colors of this. I guess i really like that kind of nature, and I think you capture it just fine. I just maybe would crop away some of the green grass at bottom.

Mark,
Excellent composition and beautiful image. At first I had little trouble finding a strong subject to anchor my view. After finding the lioness I really enjoyed the image.

Mark,
a really fantastic animalscape image.there is a very strong depth in the image ,because of lions and trees in various points all over the image.the comp works perfect ,good exposure all over felt i could have been there myself.
When i look at Morkels RP i like that one too,gave the image a really popp!!!! Well done Morkel, i like what you made out of the image.
Cheers Andreas

Hi Mark, Morkels RP has taken it to where it needs to be, however I still feel there is a 'smoothness' especially on the main lioness???? Perhaps the grass in the FG on Morkel's RP is a bit bright, so I might bring you portion back in to the image. I trust you are getting out & about over here to build on variable light & fieldcraft

Hi Vivaldo, Gregor, Sid, Steve, Morkel, Ken, Andreas and Steve,
Thank you for your time to post your comments, they are always gratefully appreciated. Morkel, your repost is an inspiration and I have completed a repost with added mid tone contrast, any comments welcome. I have not saturated the colours as much as your repost Morkel, WDYT.
Steve, last month I was up at Bempton Cliffs, I have never been so cold in my life.

Mark, I think yours looks more natural, but I quite like the punch of Morkels, 50/50 I guess. If you are using an external source to post, please check it,as you have two images, so perhaps a quick edit would be in order to remove the additional one
, thanks.

Mark,
I still think the OP is best.
If you do not like cold then do not go to Hwange in June, the record is -8, none to comfortable in an open vehicle

Ditto for me too. And the pink sky threw me at first too, by the way. But I love the pano framing and the strong look of the determined lion up front to the right. Well done, spectacularly so. Spending a few minutes looking first certainly helped me to take it all in, then start finding the subjects, then letting it al blend in together. I like it the more I look at it.

Nice scene with great colors. I like the look of the surroundings of Morkel's attempt but prefer the look of your lioness in relation to the surroundings in your repost (knowing his PP abilities, most likely due to the size of the posted image, his looks just a little too "pasted in"). Would be happy to print and frame any of the versions.
