::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Well, to be honest, at first I saw no connection to the challenge. The title helped, but even then it was a stretch.

Composition:
It's pretty tight. It's about what you expect to see in a nature photograph.

Subject:
He's right in front. but he gets kinda lost in the background due to natural camo and harsh lighting.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color is pretty good, the lighting makes it seem kinda washed out though.
Focus: A tad soft and then a bit over-sharpened.
Light: This is the cause of most of the issues with this photo. It seems it was shot at about midday with shadows in all the wrong places.

To grow its vote?:
I'm sure the link to the challenge wasn't strong enough to get most voters to pay attention. Also, the lighting issues didn't help.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Very harsh lighting. Very centered compostion. Very boring looking lion. Nice potential. Shooting animals does definatly need patience and a little luck.

Using a new formula....
0-2 Meets the Challenge = 1
0-2 Technical Merit = 1
0-4 Interest/Creativity = 1
0-2 The "wow factor" = 0
Final score: 3
