Youngster Lion "King to be"

Uploaded: August 14, 2007

Description

aperture f8, shutter1/500, lens - 300mm, location - taken at the San Diego Wild animal park through a small peek hole in the trees.

I used PhotoShop filters including the "Dry Brush" and then some over-sharpening. This is a technique I'e used to get a buzzed look to the photos that I've seen posted at BF.

Thank you Joan and Patrick. I am happy with the results, but I only wish that the straw in front were grass instead. Something I may change in the future. #4649023

Beautiful! It looks so much like a painting! Great effects and great capture. I don't mind the straw as the color of it goes well with the lion and BG colors. #4649393
