 This lion was a terrific performer - he growled, he roared, but he was just a little too far away. I had to stretch to get this photo, but it was a lot of fun.

I think the lion is frame nicely and is posed well, but the light seems a little flat.

The contrast and focus are a bit off and the OOF rocks in the front are a distraction.

Shooting animals in captivity is too easy.
