 He was pretending to be king when I took his picture hence the title. The 'for the day' bit obviously implies the transience of his situation because at the end of the day he is only a chained animal.

I haven't participated a whole month because I've got too many projects, exams etc. and no Photoshop :( and my mum's gone off and fractured her foot so she needs all the help she can get so I've been viewing this DPL business from the sidelines and man I can't believe how amazing the challenge images have become.

This isn't my best but I like it the most so I'm entering it even though I don't think this image will be able to stand against the quality this challenge will produce. I just don't want a sub 5!!

Majestic indeed, but so intimate I must question creation.

A bit centered IMO, but a great animal portrait none the less :)

Aww, the leash contradicts the title.
Very powerful image. Sharp, with a great expression.
