Amazing clarity and DOF - simply beautiful. I really like the composition too - the negative space works well. I must admit I think I scored this too low (6) in the challenge - it definitely deserved 8+. Very nice piece of work.

as much as i want to say nice capture, there's just too much that feels artificial about it, almost as if i was looking at a stuffed animal in a museum. it must be the lighting. the composition and colors are fine, it's just the overall feeling of the image that is letting me down. oh, well, i'm just one opinion; i'm sure most others will love it. hope this does well for you. good luck!

I would have liked a tighter crop to bring out the detail in the fur

Nice DOF, the fur is all in focus, but the back wall is not. The expresion works also.

Color looks washed out by sun, shadow is detracting.

Usually works better when there is contrast between subject and background. Great lion though.

Very beautiful lion. Love the overall tones and sharpness. Being a Leo, I am particularly fond of this king of the jungle. Super job!! (Do you think you could get a similar shot of the whole cat?)

This is a really nice shot of a great subject. I think this particular photo would match the title better and be more effective overall if you cropped off the top third and maybe brightened it a bit as well. Otherwise, really excellent photo!
