thanks for voting and especially for comments. i think this photo is a prime example of different taste in different people as i liked soft/non intense colors a lot and actually desaturated image a little. i also have a version with bw background and only lions in color (but i could not use that one for basic editing).
anyways thanks for your votes and input and will see you next time
i think this could use some playing around with the curves in photoshop. you may be able to get some of the detail back from the blown out highlight on the bottom cat. nice picture though
