I think, that not only the lion on the rock is interesting but the overall picture: during one is a king the other doesn't care !!

Nice! What technique did you use to properly expose the subject and the sky?

Appears to be a "sky replacement" image, evidence by the unfinished grey sky around the resting lion and the fact that both lions/habitat would have been an almost silhouette.
Possibly taken in the Kogatende region? (Nth Serengeti)
Lovely image nonetheless.

As Marc said, I did replace the sky. The sky that day was very blah and really did nothing for the image at all. I rarely do sky replacements, but really liked this scene

Thank you. I too really liked the lioness in the bush.
