Wow Lillian this superb, the light is brill. the detail the same, and that pose is amazing very well captured indeed, it's a real winner on any site. Stupendous work.
John
This to me is your best photograph by far Lillian. The tones and detail are first class. Also the angle of capture with the lion looking up and away from the camera really works well and excellent detail and catchlights. Also a very good neutral and dark bg to bring out the sharp edge detail of his fur
Richard
Dreaming of the plains of Africa, even if he was born here the plains will be in his blood and genes.
A tremendous portrait of the King of Beasts Lillian, very well done.
Dougie
