Comment by SJCarter:
Is this a photo of a painting? Something about it doesn't look "real". The eyes and cheek/whiskers have so much more detail than the rest of the image (and there's a black spot underneath the lowest whisker that looks unnatural). I like the lighting. If this is a real lion, then I think you should give a tutorial on how you got it to look like a painting! I'm not crazy about the eyes. An interesting shot, nonetheless.

Hmmm... that dude looks suspiciously like Jay Leno :o)

Anyway, a nice Candid shot, above average in the challenge but it´s not blowing my socks off either, needs IMHO more even lighting across the face. Gave it a 7.

I don't know what's going on, but it more look like a painting than a photo to me. From your title, it looks like it was the effect your were after. Definately look edited too much to me. Still, nice capture of the lion's eyes

Hmmmm... I like this because it really gives the viewer a glimpse into an unseen side of a person's life. We are so used to seeing the "on stage" side. Good job. I like the balance here, too.
