Fair to say a fed lion is a happy lion. The gob of flesh isn't too picturesque however you have an otherwise detailed bust portrait. Rating the light, perhaps a bit overly contrasty. Sounds like a wonderful place for wildlife photography (understatement I'm sure).

Thanks Ken, yes "graphic" would be a more apt description.
