I think most here have no issue with a composite image Karmal, so as to avoid conjecture, it is always best to disclose this in your initial post.
Love the low POV

Exactly and then you might get complements for the processing as well instead of a loss of respect.

This is a wonderful image but the sky was added after as it is impossible to have that kind of detail on the clouds
Chris,so?
Great artists of history antiquity, renaissance, impressionists, pointillism..and so on and so on often take great liberty with an image(s) and produce a great final statement.

Im really not a stick in the mud but I do believe it should be noted in the original post as there are many people that are new to this and it is misleading
Photography is an art and I think that every photo needs post-production everyone interprets it in their own way if we analyze all the shots there will certainly be something to criticize my vision at that moment was that I took a hundred shots in a couple of minutes that the subject was stationary if I posted without post production perhaps it would have been better for many and trivial for others my vision was this to give prominence to both the subject and the background then merge two shots, because all this would normally be impossible, On dynamic photos you have few margins you have to tell them about a moment especially if a cheetah or a lion hunts on a landscape often you take many shots and then merge them what is important for me is always the visual result .thank you all for the your criticisms and comments
I changed the description of the photo I apologize for omitting this greetings to all

A royal pose indeed. A royal image too. Many sticks in the mud unfortunately.
A little sad to see you resort to name calling Ted. Nobody was passing judgement, just looking for an explanation as to why the image looked so "off". The fact that the OP wouldn't answer directly and continued to be evasive after being asked at least twice didn't help. Although, I would give the OP the benefit of the doubt as I get the impression that English is not his/her first language. Maybe there was some confusion there. But the OP is correct, he/she can do whatever they like. It's their image. And no one was saying different. We are long past the point of discussing what's real or not real. But I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to question the authenticity of an image when something is so glaringly wrong. Nor is it unreasonable to expect the poster to be honest. Just to be clear, I'm not referring to the OP now, just anyone in general who is asked about any detail of an image.

Hope you have a great day Ted :-)

Chris, you might notice I liked your reply to my reply. First off, my "stick in the mud" comment was not directed at you. Since you might have or you were offended by the statement no offense was intended. I apologize if you or anyone was offended by the statement.
In defense of my statement, I do not believe any one who posts here is obligated to first disclose how they processed a posted image.
Take care, I hope you post some of your work in the near future.

I do speak Italian so you need a translator PM me. It has been awhile since my nearest Italian speaking, dual citizenship 1st cousin and I spoke. My mother passed on in 1981. So I rarely get to speak it. So I am "rusty".
My mother's family fled Fascist Italy in the 1920's, Serrastretta.
Ciao!

I really had to hesitate to post a response to this thread here but I would like to add another train of thought. No I didn't see anything wrong with Ted's reference. And I didn't think he was "name calling". It is NOT his style. I consider the posted image as a "composition". That word has a pretty vague "thin line" between "calling someone out" on a post" and well essentially any post processed posted image here entails just that. The image was modified in some manner. That we all that are reading this thread see that now, being a "composition", let's try to get back to photography but the discussion is very valid IMHO> I thought the image was an excellent composition.
Now if it was the lion being altered then that must be disclosed IMHO.
Dan
This was my vision and interpretation you can like and dislike personal tastes are not discussed, perhaps if I put it was better or worse? All the photos are flat if you don't do composition or post production especially in landscapes
Both of those images are winners and don't need a sky replacement. The second image is amazing, its showing the mosquitos or flies scattering with the growl or yawn from the lion.
