...but darned if I can figure out who! I mean, it's right on the tip of my tongue, like a cookie crumb on your lip you just can't quite seem to find. It's like I saw a reference to this on a thread somewhere or something. Oh well, I'm sure someone will remind me...

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

I was almost afraid to click on the links, but did anyways. :-)

Sleeping like a baby ... which is what I should be doing. Rich ... wonderful capture of this lion or should I say Les The Lion Sleeps Tonight. :-)

LOL @ Rob! I've been so busy following all those links I forgot that this was the actual source...

Doesn't Les look so sweet when he's asleep? Just like a little angel... and if you believe that there's a bridge for sale...

Great shot GBR. I believe that lion is naked and high on cookies.

Great post.

Rich, I really like the diagonal division in color and light you were able to capture here. The subject is also fantastic!

Good shot, Rich.

:oP


On a more serious note now ...

I am assuming that this might have been either, shot on film ... and/or, shot under some challenging conditions. As in, and stating the obvious here ... in a zoo.

Good natural colour. Good composition.

On that last note, and I am undecided a tad ... very good placement of your focal subject. Ideally, capturing the lion's tail in frame might have been the proverbial compositional icing on the cake.

Lil' soft on the focus. Not too bad, mind you.

You were also successful in presenting to us ... some dimensionality with the DOF employed. Like that aspect of your image here.


And but of course, so as to not be a total stick in the mud ...

:oD

... on your accompanying narrative.


It's a good good shot. :o)

Ah, the king is asleep. Nicely posed he is for this shot. Are you saying that someone is a 'pussy cat'?
