Couldnt avoid the blown areas in the mane. Maybe moving a bit to the right would have helped on the bright area behind the head. :(

Good one Bibhav.A little unusual posture for a lion tailed.Normally you see the biger apes in this posture.Good work.

Wow! Bibhav this is nice, the best from the ones you posted earlier. He looks quite healthy, I Eco comments made by Sankar. Did you try giving -ve EC

Nice pose. I agree with you that moving to the right would have helped in hiding the blown out patches. Do you have a horizontal?

[Bibhav Behera]

Praveen, a -ve would have underexposed the image in my opinion as the background was bright and the camera metering would have underexposed the blacks. Here the whites are blown at the cost of the face being properly exposed.

Sabyasachi, I do have a horizontal. Will post it soon.

Nice pose. I liked the stare. I think you could tried moving the camera down and having more space at the bottom than at the top. The details are nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. I like the vertical composition. Agree with Sankar, in this posture it looks very much like a gorilla with a mane :).
