My oh my how technology has improved photography. Compared to a standard digital shot this looks a little washed out. I can tell that your bin is getting pretty low. Since you are correctly suggesting compositional changes to most of my postings, next time I think you should go for a macro of his eye. Simply sneak up to him, focus on his closed eyes and shout "Dandy Lion".
Great looking photo of a gentle giant i don't think so lol.Great close up and very nice composition too.Very rare shot to capture a lion asleep in flowers.
