Support 84mm? Photographer may be safe inside a lion-proof car (?). J e e 02:51, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Light and motive are very nice, but the tree directly behind the lion massively distracts the compositon. Visually the tree is cutting the lion. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:42, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose +1 Tuxyso --An678ko (talk) 16:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree, as well. Nice subject but I think that to be featurable it needs something special. Poc o² 21:53, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above, and I almost feel like I have to apologize for it. There's too much of one color in this shot, but there's not much alternative, either. It might have helped to have waited 2-3 seconds so leo was in front of the shadow thrown to his right to give the composition some depth. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 04:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support As a biologist I like this pic especially because there is much of one color and the tree - it perfectly shows the camouflage of a lion in a structured wilderness. Maybe there is no wow - but I don't need an additional wow on a lions pic. -- Achim Raschka (talk) 06:47, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting comment. This is the only protected habitat for Asiatic Lions in India. J e e 06:56, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a comment well suited to en:FP not COM:FPC. Commons looks for the wow. WP looks for the EV. Saffron Blaze (talk) 16:13, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; wow in layman POV and biologist/naturalist POV are like day and night. ;) J e e 16:48, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What does that say about me then with my fancy honours degree in biology? Saffron Blaze (talk) 16:53, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He, he; I'm just kidding. BTW, I don't like those preserved forests (for human entertainments) much. And I don't like we approach them that much close. But I really likes the camouflage here. :) J e e 17:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Achim, just for shits and giggles: to me, the whole idea of camouflage was just wrong thematically. If he's head-down, crouching, stalking prey, then yes, blending in to his surroundings is perfect; but, here, he appears to be look-at-me-I'm-the-king-of-the-jungle-style sauntering, in which case he's supposed to stand out. If nothing else, thank you for helping me put my thoughts into better words. :) —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 06:28, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Tuxyso. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 16:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
