Thanks for the honesty and criticism. I have quite a few 'moments of madness', especially when editing (also known as 'freefloat') - I envisioned what I'd like to have 'wallsized' hanging in my living room, at the time (based on 'mood'), this is the result. As I said, not to everyone's taste, but that's what happens when you take a 'pure photograph' and tweak it 'artistically'. Here's the 'pure' (which has sadness in it, because of the 'raw truth' that I can see, which I guess is another reason I 'turned it into something else' - hard to explain):

Nice but I really don't like the purple :(
Aside from that it would be nice to have a bit more DOF to get the eyes sharp. |

| I'm not sure I like the color of this photograph. I would be interested in seeing the original color. |

| Sorry. The purple doesn't do it for me. I prefer sepia for lions. |

I am struggling to understand why you have given this wonderful creature a purple cast? Although their are areas on the left handside of the image which are quite blown this could still have made a nice shot. I would like to have seen the focus on the big cats eyes and a much more natural colour to the overall shot. I do like the close up crop you have done, and if it weren't for the purple 'tint' I would have scored this a bit higher.
This is just my humble opinion. |

| Not crazy about the purple filter, would like to see a deeper depth of field that includes the eyes. But a beautiful animal, nonetheless. |

| why do you choose this tones? Could be much better in naturally colors, IMO |

| The structur of the image is good but the purple color does not fit well to the subject. IMO lions should be yellowish. |

| I love the perspective - very creative and dramatic. However, the purple does nothing for me. A straight BW would have been excellent. |
