i got a lot of good reviews of my most recent lion pic, but i really wasnt happy. thos eof you who know me - know that i will perseverate on something till i get it the way i want. i decided to return to the "jungle". Maybe my lion would be more active / more cooperative today.
now Im happy!!! i also found out his name is "George"

    at 1st I was going to say I preferred the 1st one (the previous post), but then I pulled them up side-by-side and I glad you perservered. thumb.gif I think maybe the OOF green background and the frame in the 1st gave it a bit more panache' at first. But when you really look at the lion, the position, color, ect does stand out more in the 2nd.

    That third shot is excellent! The two are good as well, but I really like the third shot!

    Troy,
    The second is my favorite. I love the glint in his eyes and it is very sharp. Got to love that 100-400. Happy 4th.:D

    I like the light in the second one, Troy. It really shows off his eyes.thumb.gif

    Of course the last one is good because we get to see the whole beast.mwink.gif

    That wouldn't be "George of the Jungle", would it?rolleyes1.gif
