The slight green cast to this image keeps it from being a complete technical success - the green intrudes on the male lion and give it a grainy appearance even thought it's not grain. Additionally, the DOF control is a little lacking - it would have been better choice to use a wider angle to capture the entire action and sharpen up the foreground. An artistic success in that it conveys the impression the author wanted to express.

Upon review of this picture, I gave it a higher score as I like the way the light sparkles on the blooms.

Sometimes it's better to just shut up and vote. A beautiful image that, on first review seemed a little over done, but on the comment pass, it just jumped out and said howdy. The whites are a little over done and it might suit the image to revisit it and tone map the whites to a more neutral level. This is a minor nit pick however - the rest of the image is rich in detail and has some significant interest and pop. Originally rated a 7, it's rerated as a 9. Well done - a top twenty entry.
