mikeoday 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Thank you all for very kind comments. This image is one of a series that sat waiting for my ‘digital darkroom’ skills to improve. This young male lion was pacing backwards and forwards along the worn track just 1 metre away. Every 15 seconds or se he would stop and make eye contact with someone from the crowd of people looking at him from the dark observation area. It was very impressive and moving to make such an intimate contact. All the best, Mike Link to comment
GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted December 11, 2008 Amazing shot Mike. The moment your shutter 'clicked', you captured an intimacy between you and the Lion that I can't even put into words. (there's a first!). So deep in thought ... a gentleness of expression .... very moving. I'm sure every time you look at it ... that one unique moment in time, will stay with you always. Our 'digital' world renders so many opportunities we otherwise would never experience. Your editing has turned a "shot of a Lion" into a 'Personal Exchange'. For me its a '7'...Beautiful...Gail Link to comment
jill_rocker 1 Posted April 22, 2009 I saw this picture in your portfolio and it caught my interest immediately ... A wonderful portrait of this majestic animal ... You have done everything right with this picture, I think ... The black and white tones and contrast are perfect...... Beautiful light and a brilliant crop.... One of the best animal portraits I have seen... All my best to you, Jill Link to comment
