The Thing Itself
In this photograph the young lion is captured in a vulnerable state, in its element, sleeping, being exactly what it is... a lion.  The light falling on the lion leaves shadows on the face and the front of the rock making a nice color contrast between where the sunlight hits the lion and the rock directly.  The background it fuzzy demonstrating that in this photograph the only thing that is important to view is the thing itself, the lion sleeping on the rock.  The eye follows her front up to her face and then takes in the rest of her sleeping body.  She looks so peaceful and gentle in this photo.  It makes me want to pet her and bring her home with me.
