This is quite out of focus, I'm afraid. Otherwise it does indeed look like a "contemplative" pose.

Focus is off quite a bit and exposure seems to have been difficult. Looks like you might have had to compensate on the lion a bit too much in pp. I would expose for the lion, accepting the extreme highlight of the foreground, then maybe burned in the foreground just to take the shine off.

Like the picture - but I'm really not crazy about the processing...

Photo is not crisp and clear. Looks almost like it was cropped from a much larger photo. Beautiful subject though...

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

beautiful kitty. The image and the cat are a bit fuzzy. Focus is slightly blurred.
