very nice shot. I like the dark background to set off the lioness's face. there seems to be a bit of a haze over the entire image as if shot through glass. maybe a kickup of contrast or sat or fiddling with levels/curves might have helped. I really like the shot though...kicking up
This is very good image of a lion. It shows that regal and intelligent pose that lions possess although it looks like it was shot through the glass you have still maintained much of the detail and sharpness.
On the downside the bright backlighting has blown out some places but still a very nice image.
Reminds me of the pictures of Mary looking at the sky. you know, the pious Jesus Mary? Anyway, I think this is well done. Tones could have been a little more contrast, but I have a feeling that blew out your whites. MAybe a selection of everything but the whites with a level adjustment would help. The face/position/expression of this image is so powerful though - 9. Good luck in the challenge! BTW - like the touch of green in the back.
This is lovely. Her expression is so kind. The light on her chin and paws is just a touch overdone, but not enough to detract from this wonderful shot. 9
