Great shot! Only thing I would like to see diferent is a little more detail in the shadows.

Excellent capture. I'd have like to seen the lion facing the camera just a little bit more. Its still an excellent shot. Great background, sky is a really nice color. His face has a couple minor hot spots under his nose, but it would be difficult to darken this down without losing the details in the body. Overall good quality shot 7

Beautiful Image! Perfect in my book!

unusual angle - i like this - almost seems to be roaring at the sun

Excellent. Not sure if opening the shadows would have helped, but that's one thing I would try if it were my photo.

Outstanding, great angle in which you captured this shot, the open mouth as if roaring was a great capture 10

I love this shot! I particularly enjoy the contrast between the shadow cast on the lion and the sunlight in it's face (this is due to your wonderful lighting). I also believe that the trees in the background enhance this photo tremendously seems to fill the frame quite nicely. One thing that would add more strength IMO, is to equalize and balance the shot. I feel that the tree on the right mixed with the lion's head tend to overdominate the shot. It just feels ever so slightly heavy on the right. But this is a very, very minor thing and the rest of the elements more than make up for that fact.

I love the beauty of this animal - as you say, "greeting the sun." If the contrasts, or lights vs darks were slightly different it would be a 10, but in my estimation, the photo is still well worth a 9.

How did you get this photo? Its a great shot...10

From a slightly different angle, this shot would be my favourite.
The contrast between sunlight and shadow is superb, add a plain blue background and the lion`s rear quarter and it`s just about unbeatable.

nice pose caught here. Needs a fillin flash on the body perhaps?

Nice shot.

Nice image

It seems too dark to me. Alot of detail lost.
01/19/2004 04:03:04 PM
Too bad his paws are cropped out. Great timing on the roar!
01/19/2004 03:51:40 PM
Love the sun on his face and the expression, just wish I could see his paws, or more of his eye.
01/19/2004 12:48:41 PM
Wow. Nice catch!
01/19/2004 12:09:37 PM
wow

As a Leo - I want this picture!!! Good job!

Beautiful shot, the lion looks so skinny almost unhealthy from this angle but the position he is in is perfect, it screams "king of the jungle" good luck. 8
