Great expression Ken, I don't think he likes you. Not bad at all for a camera that didn't focus.

A fine portrait Ken. Love the way the light is striking the lower portion of his eyes.

Of all the recent lion images you have posted, this is the one I like the best.
The intensity of the stare is compelling.
