Hi Ken,
This is a nice portrait of a successful hunter. Composition is good and the gory parts are dark which places the emphasis on the lion's face. Well done..........................Jim

This guy looks pretty self satisfied. I am missing the natural warm light...was this taken with some kind of artificial?

No artificial light just a very dark evening in the shade

Super image. Love all that eye contact and the prey is easily identifiable without being overly gory.
