 This was taken downtown Chicago on a very very cold day. This is one of the Lions that greet people at the entrance of the Art Institute of Chicago. Myth is, that inside the bronz casts actually lie 2 of Africas most dangerous killer Lions. Who knows, could be??

From critique club.

I gave this image high score for the interesting idea.

Qualitywise, I wonder why at f=8 the background is so sharp? Also the shadows on the lion are blending with the shadows of the building - this leads to missconception. And finally, I am not too confident in this bronze green - in reality it usually looks differently but I won't insist on that ;-)

If you would have just cropped out the lower half of this photo entirely and have Leo's head facing out onto a vast blue empty sky this picture would have been more emotive. Buildings on lower left are a distraction.

Great lighting and detail on the lion; the buildings make an interesting background.

Sky showing sogns of pixelation: could have been run through neatimage. Interesting point of view.

Fits the theme, interesting pov, think I like it better without the two white buildings.

A little too much shadowing and the angle is weird.

Very sharp and good shot. Maby litle to much shadow below, how about fill in flash?

too much of the building hides the outline of the lion..... otherwise, great colors

Too much post processing. Notice the noise in the sky on the left.

Your title matches the POV nicely.

Nice composition and colors. I'm wondering why you didn't isolate the lion more? I guess either your couldn't or it looked boring. I do like this shot so don't take my comment wrong. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice angle...

nice idea, I would apply less sharpening - the sky is little grainy

buildings don't fit in the zodiac atmosphere
