Wonderful head on shot Jeff and thank you for the commentary. That golden hue of the mane and the eye contact speaks majestic to me.

Good composition
(guess there might be something to that "rule of thirds" thing after all ! ;-)
Good light
great color
excellent direct eye contact.
Beautiful eyes.
Splendid creature.
Sorry to hear that Lionel has passed on
but glad to know that he lived 23 years.
I am ambivalent about zoo shots
both seeing and making them.
As I am ambivalent about zoos.
I am fascinated and saddened by them.
This magnificent creature lived a very UN-natural life
although much more stress-free and pleasant than in zoos of old.
But he clearly made the case to countless throngs of people that wildlife deserves to live in protected wilderness.
It is THEIR world too.
Indeed,
"Thank You Lionel".
