The eyes definately have it here!! Perfect focus, the white balance here is right one. No over exposed areas, just how it should be done!! 10

Good capture. Looks manacing. You must have been luck to get him wake up at all. I have been to the zoo myself but the lions where fast asleep the three times I got to the lion's pit during that day. Lazy beast :)

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
