Hi Annick, this is a beautiful shot of this lioness, very close and very excellent detail seen on this good looking lady. Your crop and the placement of this portrait in it are perfect, the stare she has is very incredible, you really see the "majesty" in this stare. Your depth of field gives us excellent overall focus on the lioness, with great muted coverage of her surroundings, the colour is very natural, very good. Your dedication to James is very good, right on the mark.

Thanks, John

Wow, Annick, even with 400mm this is close! I really don't see much evidence of camera shake, but if this is a full frame shot at 400mm, I would EXPECT some camera shake! But this is nicely composed with the informal balance between the lion on the left and a little "looking spac" and grass on the right.

HI Annick,
A fitting dedication for James. Nice pose and light. Regarding slight softness, I suspect slight front focus, the blade of grass in the foreground looks sharper. TFS

Hi Annick
I just love lions and this is a great portrait! Where is the glint in the eye? Nice and sharp for 400mm, wonder what you used to steady the camera? Thanks for the comprehensive file info, helps a lot to see other photograper's settings.
