Very poignant title Callie and a very strong image, it suggests your frame of mind is too. I can't really say much critically about it. Very well done and I'm glad to see you posting again.

Nice to have you back here, Callie. Majestuous is the first word coming out here. This real king seems to be part of the surrounding nature with all colors merging into one another. Feline touch, plus class!
I'm sympathizing with you, Callie. Take care.

Excellent expression, and love the way the grass points into his face. Shame about the green bit, but ... thats photography.

It's one of the most beautiful amateur photo of a lion that I'll ever seen! Very succesful shot dear Callie. The colors are very bright and vivid! Good shot!

Great portrait of a fine looking male. The colour and composition is beautiful.
Simply amazing picture - how often you get to see these animals in your place ?
I have done a workshop - just maybe to improve the colors - but the image is really perfect anyway.
Thanks for posting.

What a pleasant shot! Very beautiful Callie, it looks very peaceful, seems to be posing for you. Although the shot is in only one tone it seems to be full of colour, I like ti very much. Thanks.

All the things and the beings which surround us have a precise hidden purpose: the progressive demonstration of the Divine. Certain beings, as your lion, are the representation of a quiet Force.
The loss of a dear being returns us to our own mortality and makes that we wonder about the direction of our own existence. An aimless life is a life without Enjoyment. The most true purpose which I know it is to show gradually the Divine which is in me or to let the Divine show itself as He will want. I believe that it is necessary to hang on to certain certainties which allow us to throw all which is not essential.
They are reflections generated by your photo and your note.
Thank you Callie

Excellent shot! Poignant note too, I hope you're starting to feel better - you should, if for no other reason than for posting something this good, wow! Perfect pose. Focus, lighting and DOF are spot on too. My only slight nit is the OOF green leaf in front of the lion on the frame left - I'd consider cropping it (or colour painting), since it disturbs the otherwise golden flow of the image. Anyway brilliant capture :-D

Wow, Callie, he is a nice looking chap. Keeping a good lookout too. He blends with the background really well. Lucky you didn't fall over him! TFS.

This shot is truly stunning! This one looks so much like his name "king of beasts" So regal and powerful, yet in this scene seems so calm and serene. Great extensive note also. Excellent!

Great pic, the Lion looks like it is reflecting on some things.
There is one thing that I can say about a lion and that is - respect.

A stunning image, the colours are incredibly warm, and what a pose! He's obviously spotted something in the distance worth checking out.
I also like the windswept grass and mane.
Lovely stuff, thank you for posting.
Sorry to hear about your Father. For an 'Old Lion' this image was a wonderful tribute.
