Nice one Ken. Maybe Photoshop a cigarette in his mouth. (smile) I do long for a better look at the eyes, but they match the story.

Excellent techs as usual, Ken. In this one I would like a little more space in front. I think the subject invites a sense that he is peering away and that space would give more "place" to look into.

Another fine lion studt Ken. I think I agree a little more space on the left would be good.

Thanks everybody, this Lion seemed to have a reluctance to look our way, I agree there should be more "look into" space.
