The lighter toned fur and orange eyes sure are gorgeous.

Hey Morkel,
Definitely some nice light and I really like how the mane is just beginning to grow in - the gives the lion a real different look. The image seems a bit over-exposed to me (especially if it really was the crack of dawn) - I think this one would just sing with a global reduction in exposure.
Cheers...
Brad

I have to agree with Brad, whether this is overexposed or the brightness is as a result of processing, I have no idea.
But I think it would be a lot better if it was darker.
