hi juan.
superb pic,
tfs

Hello Juan,

I really like the subtle use of colour here, which I think works better and an overly saturated version would. Less is more in this case. I also love the close crop, which makes for a very striking image.

Kind regards,

Mike

Great composition

Hi Juan,
I really like the color of this king.
what did you do to the color?
the Closeup really does well for this too.
Well done.

Steph

Hello JJ,
A fine portrait, and the expression is well captured!
For some reason lions often seem to have so sad eyes, this one included...
Amazing close-up, good details!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Con los tonos que has logrado con esta cabeza de león, parece que es un trofeo de esos que se cuelgan en las paredes...
Buenos efectos, el animal luce cansado, aburrido, esperando a ver qué hacen con él.
Saludos amigo, JL.

Hi Juan,
super job...there's alot of expression in this portrait, almost a kind of melancholy feel. Very misleading when we know how viscious and ferocious they can really be. Well done.
Paul

Hi Juan Jose, this is really the king of animals, splendid portrait, very well done, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Juan.
You managed to create a terrific portrait of this majestic old animal. All is perfect: crop, very suitable colour palette, reflection of the expression of the face and state of mood, perfect level of sharpness (not crisp but true "portrait>"). Bravo and TFS.
Alexei.
