Hoi Thijs,
Leuk te zien dat we beide, bijna tegelijk een catachtige hebben geupload. En dan beide van een dierentuin.
Je hebt zeker een mooi moment weten vast te leggen, vooral om dat ze je aan kijkt. Jammer dat de scherpte op haar kop niet helemaal perfect is, maar verder een super mooie foto.
Groeten,
Niek

Hi Thijs,
Very good shot..!
Well done,
Patrick

Hi Thijs, wonderful Lion, great sharpnesss, good composition, well done, ciao Silvio

Well done Thijs.
I like the intense eye contact, it makes the shot. Great color, exposure, and detail. Perhaps a tiny bit more space around the head IMHO. Nit picking though :)
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Thijs.
A very serious lion had posed to you . If not the glass barrier your life would be in danger. I like your cropping and composition so much. The reflection of the colours and texture of the trunks and leaves are perfect. Diagonal elements decorate the picture nicely. The image of the lion is perfect detailed and moderately sharp. Precise and wonderful work. My best regards and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Thijs,
Another good shot. Obviously a captive animal (well I hope so in Amersfoort!) because of the lack of scars and the perfect coat. Great colours although the focus on the face is just a little soft. I like the composition/framing but might have framed the Lioness a little lower, so there is more space above the head. Just my point of view of course and I hope you don't think I'm being negative. Nice work.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Thijs,
Hele goede compositie en leuk dat er oogcontact is. Ondanks dat het glas vies was is het toch goed gelukt.

Hello Thijs,
This is a great eye contact! This glass is not apparent at all. I like the pose and great details that you caught along with good composition and exposure. Well done and thanks,
Claudine
