Beautiful animal, but the viewing angle and the composition don't quite work for me. The fact that part of her body is hidden behind the head/neck, and the relative centeredness of the composition make for a slightly weaker feel than if you had captured the sprawl of the body from the front, paws out, head thrown back, etc. I like the detail visible on the face and the scruff of the neck, and the glint of green in her eye is lovely. Could have been much stronger, but a very nice shot as is.

Comment by rmtm333:
Nice capture but the processing is very poor (other than the eye...nice job there). I struggle with lion shots as well espeically with the bleaching that occurs around the mouth and chest. The forced effor to narrow the DoF is poor especially between the chin and right hind leg and around the face and backside. Focus on the subject is great. If the image only had some minor adjustments to the curves (contrast), sharpness and tweaking of the eye, this could be a 6-8, but with the result I have to give it a 5. Good Luck. 5.

I'm assuming that would be a sea shell? I feel dumb asking.

Hubby gave me one a tent just like this for Christmas. The *first* thing my kids (almost 6 and almost 3) wanted to know was if it was a tent to play in.
I guess even Superman needs a nap!

I like the eye. did you intentionally blur around the animal? I am not a fan of that.

looks like you manually blurred the background (?). from a compositional POV: Could you have moved it's head more to the right? not dead center? This would not have cut off one leg as well. Love the color in the eye.
