Hi Christian
A beautiful and majestic pose of your male lion. He looks like the Lion King :D. I love the nice sharp details, it looks very hot as most of the vegetation is brown. Well done.

What a wonderful lion! It looks sad or it is thinking about something. Well done!

bonjour Christian

quelle belle photo, superbe détails dans l'ensemble de l'image
et la netetté sur le lion, j'aime sa pose et son regard, juste une
toute petite chose, le lion est un peu trop centré dans l'image,
il aurait fallu donner moins d'espace à sa droite, disons la moitié,
et plus d'espace du côté où il a son regard, MERCI BEAUCOUP

Hi Christian,
It looks like you have disturbed him in its sleep, great shot I like the wildlife.
Vivian

Great overall soft colours and the lion's main goes well with the surroundings. Excellent look and with good lighing.

Hi Christian

A wonderful photo of this magnificent animal. It is beautifully sharp and the lighting is great. It would have yet more impact if you crop from the left so the lion is not placed so central, as Asbed has already noted. Also, try burning in the foreground grasses a little so they don't compete for interest with your subject quite so much. I have done a workshop for you, hope you find it helpful.

Cheers
Elizabeth
