"What a yawn!" You ain't lyin' (pun intended).
Great sharpness; seems like the individual hairs in the mane are visible. I like the off-center, right side alignment of the key elements and the opposing diagonals formed by the snout and tongue. Good to see they fine their incisors off, just in case. Reall nice image!

Kathy, I can see this shot appearing in one of those funny greeting cards with a caption....Nice and sharp; I've heard with animals you should always focus on the eyes, but now I'm thinking the tongue...;). Glad you left some space on the right and up top too. Background is nicely defocused. Miss the teeth...thanks for posting.
Jim

"It's hard work dealing with all these tourists that are constantly pacing in front of my enclosure. . .time for my nap."
Great frozen action capture, Kathy, and well taken! Nice capture of a full yawn with a great view of the tongue and with his eyes closed. Good focus on the lion with just enough background visible to show context but not be distracting. Well done.
