Whoa you caught a great view of this Guy. Agree with you on being too tight. But my eye goes right to the lion's eye. The details and light are very nice.

Thank you so much John:)
I cropped from the bottom mainly, and a bit from the RHS.
It was really awesome to have this guy walk so close to the car window. I gather he was preoccupied with sniffling scent from a female or it might have been his pride he was looking for. All I got was one glance and thereafter he ignored me completely. Youngsters are quite inquisitive so I am more careful when they approach, one sank his teeth into my bean bag two years ago while I was busy taking photographs of his mother

Dear Basil,
Thank you so much! I know you love lions just as much as I do - when are you planning to visit Botswana again? I have already booked my camping spots for early next year and so looking forward to this trip.
Chat soon, many thanks again for viewing and kind comments, have a super Sunday!
Kind regards,

Hi Gabriela, good call on the choice of kit & techs, no harm here in keeping that SS up as the guys were on the move. Solid, tight portrait, but I think if you have time, worth just exploring in getting a bit more tonal range in the mane to give that depth. I know time is precious, but a little time on some 'homework' will put you in good stead for past, current and future images.
Safe travel.
TFS

Hi Gabriela - I like tight portraits and this one works. It's nice that the light was on your side and lit the whole face. Good details, especially in the dark gums. Sharpness is good too. Dof was a good choice.
TFS,
Rachel
