The Ravages of Royalty [Contest Finalists July 2006]
Uploaded: July 08, 2006 04:02:14
This male lion was the head of a small pride on the Masai Mara in Kenya. He bore the scars of many battles required to maintain his reign.
Several PSP 9 filters used to emphasize detail & color to create a royal portrait look, background "burned" to remove distracting elements.
