Description

This was taken (unfortunately) at the zoo this past weekend. If you look closely at the large version, you can see telltale signs in the background and "cave". I shot this through very thick glass, and was thrilled with how it turned out. Of course, the lion couldn't have looked more regal. I thought this belonged under "figure" more than "nature". :)

It's so funny. It looks like a studio shot. Like he decided to get a portrait made of himself. He's beautiful.

Ya you can tell the rocks he's sitting on are fake but it's not like your gonna find one in the wild unless you take a nice long trip.
as for the lion...Heeeeeeee's GREAT :p

might i ask what zoo he's in??

the bright spot in the lower left part of the picture (on the rock) is a major distraction to me... maybe you should try to remove it.... on the other hand, i totaly love the colors....

Gorgeous colours... I like the golden glow of his fur, and the red flowers :)

Wow, they are truly magnificent animals. It's a shame the bushes/trees on the left were of that kind, whatever kind it is ( ), because they really doesn't fit in with the lion :p besides that it's pretty much flawless. Great job!

Uhh....wonderful pose of the king of the forest!
He seems to be a big narcissist!
I'd cropped a little the right side to remove the upper plant...I love the red flowers in the background, they work well with the great color of the lion's fur!
Very nice shot! I like it! :)

amazing pose :)
but I agree with Dax, it would be good to remove the right part. And maybe the "cave" that it looks more like a rock (or whatever it is ;) )

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. I've taken them into consideration, and adjusted the image. I have to say, I think the few small changes make for a surprisingly improved image. (thumbup)

I forgot to mention, this lion is at Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnett Park, which is in Syracuse, New York.

Gourgeous mix of rich colors, I like how the lion has a nice reddish auburn tint.

Well, it looks like a painting. A strange shot. The Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Burnett Park, Syracuse, New York, added to the list. I have to visit this place. The natural decoration seems beatiful. By the way, I agree with Mr. Colborn (emarts). It's a self-portrait of a beatiful lion. (thumbup) +7

I love it!

For some reason the happy berry tree bushes gives this a more comical or humorous feel for me... which is a nice change from the SERIOUS LION PICTURES I usually see regarding the King of the Jungle! I was away for a week and missed the ORIGINAL shot, but I like this one a lot - ! :)

(I agree with the MoZub - you iz ready for the next step up in Camera Technology as you have got your EYE working goodtime now, girl!)
