King of the Jungle 2

Thanks for taking a look!

Woah! Majestic!! reminded me immediately of Aslan, from narnia!! Awesome! Was the lighting across the face intended?

Incredible warm light, beautiful mane, sharp, majestic portrait. Excellent effort Bill, great image.Greetings from Greece

P.S.:This guy doesn't have a single scar from battles which is indeed not common. But judging by his appearance, who would dare challenge him anyway??

Thanks for your comments Aditya and Theodore. The lighting was late afternoon light filtered through tree branches so I got some shadow lines. I underexposed a full stop to darken the glare. I had the Narnia idea when I took the shot btw!
