THe thing is with this, the composition is great, you cant fault it, but the choice to go with purple was a moment of madness.. It adds nothing to the shot (expect purple). I would like to see a natural colour version of this shot..
Thanks for the honesty and criticism. I have quite a few 'moments of madness', especially when editing (also known as 'freefloat') - I envisioned what I'd like to have 'wallsized' hanging in my living room, at the time (based on 'mood'), this is the result. As I said, not to everyone's taste, but that's what happens when you take a 'pure photograph' and tweak it 'artistically'. Here's the 'pure' (which has sadness in it, because of the 'raw truth' that I can see, which I guess is another reason I 'turned it into something else' - hard to explain):

I am struggling to understand why you have given this wonderful creature a purple cast? Although their are areas on the left handside of the image which are quite blown this could still have made a nice shot. I would like to have seen the focus on the big cats eyes and a much more natural colour to the overall shot. I do like the close up crop you have done, and if it weren't for the purple 'tint' I would have scored this a bit higher.
