Very interesting. The two faces together is very Picasso-esque. I'd love to see this rotated 90 degrees with a tight crop on the two heads and paws. E.g.:

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Wow. This is amazing - an image that transcends the normal animal image and becomes something else entirely. It does some things to the viewer's brain - I like that!

Critical stuff: This is an amazing scene but it looks a little under-processed; some colour handling or even black and white with a vignette centred on the eye would have offered some good emphasis for your subject(s).

Overall: Of course it's a great image and my personal processing preferences don't get in the way of that. Great shot.

Great color and levels on this photo. I wish I could give a 7 but the composition is awkward. At first I didn't know what I was looking at. I see now that it is two lions. 6
