WOW! stunning images! The background was already so dark or you did a post-processing?

A lot of masking and post-processing to keep detail. Just having fun.

Well done.

Well done.

Thanks Dan. When your retired for 10+ years you have a lot of time to play around

The first one is really nice (though masking on bottom may need some refinement?). Otherwise outstanding. I assume this was at a zoo?

The first one is really nice (except the bottom where the masking is not clean - for example there is a black circle on the bottom left of the mane where you accidentally clicked the cursor I think?). Otherwise outstanding. I assume this was at a zoo?

No, it was on a safari in South Africa. Lion
