Wow, that must have been quite the encounter! Nicely captured, Ken! If this were mine, I would like to see more room on the left instead of right.

Maybe as Jenaya suggests a little more room on left, but I think the tight crop is very important to the intimacy of the pair and how you are conveying that to us.

A really nice shot Ken. We see a lot of lion pics on here but I reckon this one is different and oner of the best. Great expression on his face.

Really like the pair you captured here. My only nit, and a rather small one, is that I wish the male had been turned a bit more towards you. Well done.
