Sandy, I've really been enjoying your photos from Africa. It must have been a treat to photograph this majestic animal. Although I am far from a stickler when it comes to the rule of thirds, I do think this image would be helped by a crop off the left side.

That's a good looking lion and while he seems to be looking at you, he clearly is not bothered by your presence. I agree with Carol that a crop from the left would emphasize him more strongly.

Africa in May? And you went there specifically for the challenge, I'll bet . That's a really nice pose for the king and I always like to see the environment in fauna shots, so I like your inclusion of the grassland and river. That being said, I guess some cropping on the left would be appropriate. Hope to see more of your African trip.
