Beautiful look at this guy. Love the eyes. The habitat is both attractive and typical of where you would expect to see lions. Where can I find one of those 200-500mm lens. (smile)

Handsome young dude, and the look says that he knows it :biggrin: I would probably remove the small black spot about an inch to the left of his mouth, and also the dark twig just below his chin. Would you agree?

Ajit,
I really do not think that either of these items are overly distracting :wink:

Jerry,
I wish it was 200-500mm :biggrin:
