I'm not sure uf I like the blurrt edges to this one. One it taken in a zoo? It's a great facial expression you've captured but the image doesn't say 'wild' to me.

I'm not to crazy about the blurred edges. I also think he needs somewhere to go, in other words the crop is a bit too tight.

He certainly is a beauty.

Very nice.
the blurred edges, to me, give the feel of a portrait.
It is not fitting IMO.
I thin if the crop was not so tight the image would have been greatly enhanced!

Agree with the others that the cropping leaves you wanting a bit more of the 'scene' surrounding the subject. Nice saturation of colors, but perhaps this subject could do without blurring the edges. What was he doing? Yawning or growling? :)

I like the blur edges...gives the wild lion a bit of a softer feel.

Thanks for your comments. I always want to learn.

Reminds me of the Lion from "The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobr"... or the film The Chronicles of Narnia

I also am not to keen on the blurred edges!

I like the blur edges ,gives a dreamy quality and we always think of lions so strong.. that is just my opinion.. very cool shot..
