I'm a sucker for Lion shots, particularly quality such as this Carol. Gorgeous, with so much feeling on show...

Super portrait-shows the scars of living and fresh blood from his prey.

So nice to see this close-up with such an intense look -you bring out such beauty in an animal. The warm colors are especially pleasing in the background.

What a GREAT expression with his eyes, posture, and tilt of his head. Perfectly profiled and makes you want to give him a hug - Not!
