What a regal animal!
Sadly, however, it shouts of the lifelessness of captivity for I am assuming this was taken at a zoo.
Great photo! This is the epitome of a dictionary photo depicting the term Lioness.

The blown highlights here are a dull grey rather than white, which spoils what could have been a nice photo to me. You should try moving the levels slider a bit to get a full range of black to white.

For a static shot of wildlife, not normally my favorite, this one has great emotion and character. Perfect focus, DOF and woderful choice to duotone the photo. Great job.

Interesting that one is is brighter than the other. Like how close in you are though.

Nice capture. Great expression. It seems to be a bit oversharpened though.

A lovely expression captured here and wonderful framing. I, myself, would prefer to see the mid-tones a touch darker, as it looks a little 'washed out' to my eyes. The lighting conditions look to have been a little harsh when you took this. You did a wonderful job to get such a balanced exposure.

Nice close-up...black and white was a nice choice. Good tones and texture.
She looks sad.
The right eye (left in photo) looks odd. Wondering if extra sun light was cloned out.

A little too much on the one eye.. and I'm not entirely sure about the B&W here myself.

Stunning image - you caught the light and the mood perfectly.

One of the top B&W's presented. Great job!

i notice a lot of editing has been done...i also see that you edited the eye on the left, but not the eye on the right...kinda makes it look like this lion has a glass eye

10 from me....good luck!

looks a little overprocessed IMO, I think a bump in contrast would help overall image. Very nice composition though.

So melancholy...

Wow what sadness or maybe that's my interpretation. Excellent color choice.

Really love this photo. Lions are such beautiful creatures and this one just looks so forlorn. Black and white works very well for this shot.

How Regal! The pose and the composition of this are just stunning. It looks great in black and white -- but there's something about the grays and whites that don't contrast quite enough. But it's still a striking photo, and I love it!!

I like the pose you captured and the nice quiet mood. The perspective is also nice. I do however, find the highlights on my left just a bit too blown leaving no detail:-(

nice...i don't know about the b&w thought...would have loved to see her color.
