This friendly lion is located infront of a parking entrance. On the other side of the entrance there is another twin lion. This picture was taken on sunset...

Interesting scene. All the details help to keep your interest. Don't really like the orange hue that lights the composition. Correcting light balance would definitely help with this.
Undeniably a lion though not one that conveys the zodiac sign very strongly to me.
Photo suffers from lighting - I think it's the direction of the (rather strong) light that's causing that white faded effect on the back of the lion's mane. The focus seems to be aimed at the background - the lion seems soft but the STOP posters in the background are sharp. I kind of like the haphazard jumble of signs, concrete barrier and old petrol pump behind him - gives a slightly surreal air to the image.
the light on the left is overpowering, and th light around the lionis also rather distracting. The lion seems overexposes. i think this shot could have been quite interesting with the background it has, but perhaps taken at a different angle.
hehehe is this taken in Israel? Very interesting composition... compelling actually... I even like the blown out window in the back. it's artsy and interesting... Good luck.
