Good Morning, Bruce ... I like this photo quite a bit. I usually don't like the artificiality associated with zoo pics, but here you were able to get something that seems to "remove" the zoo environment from the photo. That you got Leo looking right at you is very nice.
IMO the photo could be quite a bit stronger by cropping some from the L & R sides. I did a 4:5 ratio and, to my eye, Leo looks a lot stronger yet nothing of importance was lost. I'd really like to see what this looks like in a larger print with a tighter crop and greater emphasis on the lion's visage. How large a print could you make using a 4:5 ratio without loosing any sharpness or detail? Can you get a 12x15 out of it?
