| Overall a good shot! One suggestion - I personally feel that a lion's paws are one of the most interesting features, and having the paws cropped out is a disappointment. With a little post processing you can probably tone dwon the bright spots and punch up his fur color a little. |

| The lighting here is definetly harsh making the subject a little bit flat and also making it lose a little color. You may consider experimenting with different crops. Maybe losing some off the top and right to put the lion off-center. The only other thing I may suggest(and I didn't notice right away) is cloning out the purple lens flare(or whatever its called) right along the bottom of the frame at the lions rear. |

| Nice shot with good DOF and interesting patterns formed by the trees behind the lion. If you have PhotoShop (or the equivalent), try working with the levels or curves a little to bring out more contrast and color in the cat's fur. Add a little sharpening and I think you'll like the result. |

| Light is hard to control when it's bright sunlight. There's a couple of spots where I think the pixels on the lions forelegs are blown. But, I still give it an A! |
