Default King of the Jungle...and a male lion too!

Caught these too just sitting back lounging. Too early for any type of activity....
Then again I don't think animals in captivity are ever that active to begin with.

Hi pinball,
I like the composition of the two animals but I am trying to sort out what post processing you did here with the high contrast.

xxpinballxx,

Composition is great. And it would make a fine illustration. If you were aiming for that look, you got it.

It was pretty funny when i started to get into position for this shot They were both looking at me.....Soon as I put up the camera they decided to turn away. I waited them out for about 20 minutes.

The post processing is something I can't get away from. Its a retro action then an adjustement in crurves and saturation.

I like the photo, but not so much you post processing. Don't take this the wrong way, but it almost looks as if you took a photo of a television screen. Perhaps an old film look even....?

It reminds me of my youth watching Mutual of Omaha wildlife show. So a.saliga you are pretty much on the mark with the old screen look.
