Hi Hans
You have with this really created a very beautiful photo.
That has an unlikely beautiful composition, the colours are perfect, light is perfect just as the sharpness is completely on the top.
In addition the photo is presented in the best way.

The best greetings Jens.

Hi Hans.
This a beautiful portrait. Him in the FG and her in the BG with exactly the same serious expression. Framing by the natural rock background is classic too. I wonder though if this great photo need an elaborate frame? Just a humble thought. TFS. Karin

Wow, they KNOW how to pose!!! This has everything, from clarity to detail to perfect pose and bg. I remember my lion shot from the Calgary Zoo which I had to doctor quite a bit since the bg was depressing.
Great work!

Is it a great-grandson (or great-great-grandson) of the MGM - Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. old lion? HeHe

.... speechless.... have you ever heard of the artisit David Shepherd? well this shot reminds me so much of his style.. He normally paints elephants but has also painted the big cats.. as he does you have captured the very soul of these animals, perfect lighting and a masterful portait here. Outstanding work here Hansie

I love cat snaps and this is AWESOME! It's almost as if they posed for you! Very regal and royal here Hans! Nice sharp shot, excellent and I love how the Male is posing and the female is a big miffed that SHE must stand behind him! See her expression of annoyance! HA!

Hi Hans,

Jezus, 132 shots of the lions only?! Guess, you're not using RAW format here hahaha. My 4Gb card is full at 200 shots...
Nice and sharp, and pleasantly tight in the composition. A cat shot, but I like it ;-).

Greetings!

The one of the right seems like hiding behind the bigger one, seeking shelter and security.

Well, he looks very friendly, but she looks quite nasty, Hans. Maybe she was a bit hungry ;o).
Nice compo, I really like the tight crop. Good sharpness on both faces (even at only f/4.8). Backdrop is very neutral in structure, and very good in contrasting with their fur.
Very beautiful!

Bonsoir Hansie, mon ami,
I believe that all was known as with the messages already put on your POV absolutely perfect of its two deer. Which sumptuous look, you knew to capture at the time of your POV. Colours very natural.
