I really prefer a tight crop or a zoom in photo of this beautiful animal. I like the good use of focus, the contrast is also nice....rgds

I also like the use of DOF. And it is a quite strange happening to meet a lion resting so quitly in the mid of the street!

What a wonderful shot. I imagine it’s a runway.
A bit tilted but thats ok.
Where was the rest of this young lions pride.
