The eyes definately have it here!! Perfect focus, the white balance here is right one. No over exposed areas, just how it should be done!! 10

It wasn't me, I swear! (Seriously: very good saturation and close-up!)

Almost looks unreal. Quite an unusual look and expression.

Good capture. Looks manacing. You must have been luck to get him wake up at all. I have been to the zoo myself but the lions where fast asleep the three times I got to the lion's pit during that day. Lazy beast :)

just lovely. nice composition. i think the tight crop works really well with this subject -- the detail you captured is great!

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
