The King and I

I have a thing for lions. So, it's pretty much another rule that whenever presented the opportunity, I have to snap a few shots even if he's behind dirty glass, leaning on an ugly chain link fence, and in the shade with mottled shadows all over his face. So I did. Thankfully, these magnificent creatures are amazing in any setting!

Still, he looks so regal!

Amazing creatures... I love your processing but the most intriguing part is the context created by the fence... The king is trapped, and do I see some sadness in those eyes. Fav.
