Lions in Namibia 2007

[echosue]

This is a photo I took during a trip to Namibia Africa in 2007. I took the photo with an advantix camera so there really is not much information to put in. I would however like and appreciate critique on the composition of the photo and any hints to improve it. Thanks!

camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ20
Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 72 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Exposure Bias: 0 EV

You may have missed them, but at the top of each page are the guidelines that outline what you need to include in your posts. Please take a peek and edit your post.
Appreciate it. Holler if you need help!

I will re-read the rules and make sure that the photo meets the criteria. Thanks.

I have copied the information from the camera and etc as I understand that is what is missing for the shot. Is this what you are looking for?

I like the close-crop to fill the frame, but I'm assuming you had to do a pretty serious crop to get there, resulting in a bit of a grainy image at larger sizes. Maybe you would want to try a slightly looser crop, thinking about how the lions relate to their environment, and paying close attention to composition? Not sure, but maybe something to try.

Thanks for the ideas Zamchris! I will look at the photo and see what I can change. Yes I did have to crop a lot to bring them up this close and since the photo was taken with a really cheap digital camera it is not the best pixel size. I will see what I can do to improve it though and will post another shot if I can fix the items. It is nice to have something to work on since I am very new to digital photography and still have a long way to go.
