Comment from Glena Jessee-King
The big cat is adorable with its yawn and beautiful rug-like skin. You did a fine capture of it and the foliage which is vibrantly green, so alive looking. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful portrait of this sleepy Lioness yawing mouth wide open exposing her pink tongue & her long dangerous looking canine or eye teeth in her upper jaw the lower ones are almost hidden by her tongue. The sunlight highlighting her golden brown fur as she stands out from her green background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

She wants someone to check her tonsils, I think. Any volunteer?:) Good capture. Good timing. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck!
