The Roar of silence

Love what the light did for this and your vignetting too. Really nice looking detail and exposure on the face. I have only one thing that distracted me here, oddly the shadow of the one paw just bugs me a bit as to the overall balance here with your light and shadow on the rock............it's a nit

Well seen Socrate

Well, you captured exactly what lions do best....20 hours a day they sleep....I suspect in captivity that number probably goes up as the hunting, scent marking, and territory defending behavior is not exactly part of a routine day at the zoo.
But, having said that, it is a very nice photo that certainly doesn't suggest a zoo shot.

Why do I get the sense I'm being lulled into a false sense of security with this big kitty? A peaceful scene with an otherwise regal and ferocious cat, nicely done Socrate!

Thank you guys. I appreciated your kind words. I had taken my grandson to the zoo while in Jacksonville, Fl and I was showing the lions from a distance. One way to get him closer to the lion was with the camera

Thanks Scott. Good thing they sleep that long because during those four hours they are awake they can sure do some damages
