KING’S SAD LOOK

Million dollar expression - yeah, I agree with Alberto's interpretation :). Incredible details. Regards.

...too much nice glance! Bravo!

Striking portrait of the imprisoned king with look that speaks better than anything. Excellent sharpness and textures with masterful toning and wonderful highlight/shadows effect.Top class non wildlife capture! Congrats, my friend! Max.

Great capture ...7/7............................. Best regards.

Excellent detail. Regards.

All I can say is "Wow" Excellent!!

Bravo my fried...I never have seen so soft , so sad and so wisdom looking King...Bravo!

Karolos this is a magnificent portrait. The detail in the fur and whiskers is wonderful.

I've come back to this photograph a couple time while I let it soak in. I think it's this look that you've captured here, which explains why this great cat is considered kingly. It's so easy to read wisdom and weariness in his eyes, you can easily feel this lion has an old soul that carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. While I love the almost three dimensional depth of this photograph, the subtle palate of colors, it's the eyes that make the shot and it's the eyes that prompted me to rate this photograph so highly. Beautiful work.

Impressive and with great expression. One of the finest portrait in a long time...Very well done shot Ilove it ,best regards Amer

An excellent close up with sharp details. Have a happy new year with many sharp photos. As for the sad look, the animals in their natural environment not behind bars. Congrats !

Tonal aspect, color balance, great use of darks and the well managed white balance indicates a fantatic photograph as always my dear friend... MJ

Majestic portrait, Karolos. The sharpness, detail, intimacy, and softly beautiful golden tones are fit for a king.

Excellent look, amazing details. Great nature shot!!

What an expression you caught there my friend...precious!

Εξαιρετική Κάρολε!!!

Beautiful shot. And yes sad at the same time

Karolos, superb shot. Very good cropping ,exposure,details and capture of the pensive mood of the king.

Karolos, Both your photography and the sentiment you write under this resigned expression are compelling. The eyes are weary. Zoos seem absolutely absurd. Circuses even worse.

You nailed it both with the image and the title. What a great image.

Congrats.

Alex
