Great pose, wonderful light and the lion looks to be in superb condition, Ken. Lovely image.
Nice composition. I like the implied action of the raised paw, the eye contact and warm light. I was in Hawing in September for a few days in September and never saw a cat. Lucky you.
Wonderful light and nice pose with the left leg up. I also really like that stare.
Nice light and good pose Ken. Looks like a pretty young lion-have you forwarded the image to the authorities for an ID?
