Relaxed looks like a real kitty you could pat, for now. Sharp image and good marginal space.

I really like this one, but think the Lion is a little too centered.

Thanks for the tip. I agree with you. Unfortunately, I'm not able to repost a cropped version. There doesn't appear to be an option to edit. ;-(

I know we are supposed to be looking at the animal but I cannot help but focus on the tree. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! Do you know what kind of tree it is? Nice shot BTW.

Thanks! It's a jacaranda tree. They are abundant in the Johannesburg area and are just beautiful. The most intensely purple/blue I've seen! Part of the reason I like the shot so much is the contrast of color.

It's a very good shot author! Good luck!
