Leo emergesby wkmenComment by wkmen: Thanks for (almost) all the comments!! I did mess up here - the upper right-hand corner, there's a wrinkle in the wax paper I used for a backdrop. I didn't see it until I had everything broken down and I was chosing the photo to edit - with only an hour left to go. The wrinkle got progressively worse to the right and up, so I cropped really tight!
Also, when taking the photo, I didn't notice how distracting the woodgrain was. That was the reason I darkened the red channel - it actually de-emphasized it best. But not good enough - next time - plain cloth for the floor!
Playing with the florescent hand-light, I liked this angle best, even though it didn't emphasize the eyes. The eyes on this particular "sculpture" are really plain, anyhow - not much there more than you can see in this pic. The rippling muscles are the thing for this Leo. And I really liked the shadow of the tooth on the back of his mouth.
Again, sincere thanks for your comments!! |

Leo emergesby wkmenComment by Dave Gordon: I find the lighting on this photo espcially interesting, and the composition is pleasing. I think the tight crop works very well. |

Leo emergesby wkmenComment by wewillexplore: Unacceptable in the eye region - portraits and animals if we can see their eyes, make them in focus and well enough lit to see. |

Bear versus Manby wkmenComment by wkmen: Thanks for all your comments. I really should have taken the knife out for a few shots. I agree that it could have been better without the blade, but I got all tied up in the struggle thing, when a simpler shot would do. Live & learn... |

Leo emergesby wkmenComment by Pooba: Too many shadows especially on the face. Maybe a different POV would have helped. Or a closeup of just part of the lion. |

Bear versus Manby wkmenComment by Cam: I think it would have been better without the knife. Does not seem to fit. Still a very nice shot. |

Leo emergesby wkmenComment by Jaguar: Nice, though lighting is off. Light in back is too strong (maybe a little less in back and little more in front. |
