| He appears stuffed, right? The shot is really well done and the spotlight effect is quite effective. |

| I don't know what you did to make this look so much like an oil painting, but I like it a lot...the way the light falls (did you use the spotlight filter?)and the slight blurring of face is lovely in effect. |

| really nice, looks illustrated, I'll bet you're getting hammered on that. Really nice work, the best thing I've seen come out of a zoo in a long time. |

| feels like the eyes have been boosted whilst the rest has been 'taken back'. Not sure I like the contrast, however I do like the lighting effect |

| That's a great pose of a great beast. Wonderful composition too. Probably without all the Photoshopping I'd give this a 10. Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of the phillistine masses, of which I am one. The way this poor lionized lion looks, I'd expect to see it on a fuzzy blanket at a flea market. I'm going to find out where you live after the challenge ends, and come & take your silly lionizing filter away from you. Though you don't deserve it after slaughtering this photo, i'm going to give you a 7 anyway, just because I like you. Don't let me catch you lionizing any more lions or I'll report you to the SPCA. That also goes for womanizing any women! |

| Is this a photograph of a painting? I can't put my finger on what makes this look unreal. |

| Is this a photo of a painting? Something about it doesn't look "real". The eyes and cheek/whiskers have so much more detail than the rest of the image (and there's a black spot underneath the lowest whisker that looks unnatural). I like the lighting. If this is a real lion, then I think you should give a tutorial on how you got it to look like a painting! I'm not crazy about the eyes. An interesting shot, nonetheless. |

| I don't know what's going on, but it more look like a painting than a photo to me. From your title, it looks like it was the effect your were after. Definately look edited too much to me. Still, nice capture of the lion's eyes |

| This looks like a painting, almost unreal. If it is a photo - you caught a wonderful shot. |

| This is so regal looking! The lighting is spectacular being right there just in his face area and around his paws. He definitely looks like King of the Jungle!!!!! I would not be at all surprised to see this one in the winner's circle :) 10 |

| Lovely photo and I appreciate your efforts at post editing, however I feel its a little over done, especially the eyes & whiskers. The lighting effects are good though. |

| Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice |

| The dodging/burning is overdone and the eyes are very unnatural. I would have liked to have seen a less processed image, and I think it would have done fine. |
