"Excuse me folks, just looking over the menu." This is how I picture Aslan from CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Great capture.

Lovely portrait of the king of beasts. Nice detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 07:12:53 AM
He has a calm, content stare. I am sure if I got closer to him, he would seem so calm anymore :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 07:11:48 AM
He looks a bit ragged and aged, which is a cool character to give a lion, this to me tells a story.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:45:56 AM
excellent capture of mr lion, but would have benefited from one of those 'highly dramatic vignetting' treatments imho. Also a very slight crop down.

He's looking reasonably cranky! Nice tones and good judgement to resist the temptation to over contrast which has resulted in a nice tonal range. 7. :)

His face just screams at me. Not in a bad way, he just delivers such power. Great job on your focus, detail and textures here. I can almost count the hairs in his mane. Beautiful image!
