So, is it a butterfly shot with a lion in it or a lion shot with a butterfly in it? (smile)

Love the lion AND the butterfly. My only wish is for a bit more room and less centered. Also, is a slight clockwise rotation needed?

I wish he was leaning into the butterfly, rather than away! .... :biggrin:
Nice work. Consider vertical?
