I love the lighting, and good use of sepia.

Wow! This is so very classy. The toning comes off really well on my screen. I like how the background looks like it is curling up, and how the tail with that little upswing, really blends in the subject to the background. At least that's the way it looks to me.

the processing adds so much interest to this. He seems like a silent movie star. So much personality. 8

Lovely, just lovely! Now this is an image that I know, had I taken it on safari, I'd be sooooo pleased with, so elated about... and yet I don't know how well it works without that emotional connection to the experience of seeing the animal in real life? It's a good shot, certainly, but not a "Wow" shot, I think. Still, as I said, I know I'd be happy if this were mine!

Man...he's just resting like cats do, but look at that intensity in his eyes. Well captured and a great photo. The choice of b&w conversion for this was a good one.
