I am totally mesmerized by this photo. He looks like he is tired and aged. The eyes are captivating like he is saying he is tired and has lived a long life. Wonderful.

Late in the afternoon with the sun low and behind me. Perfect for that warm look!Lighting
Not much to share...Was at the right place at the right time...Equipment
Canon 70D with Canon L 70-200 F2.8 IS LensInspiration
I love cats (big ones) I wanted to capture the experience to be close to an animal like that. This shot takes me back to the actual moment and experience.Editing
Cropped it and resized it for the site. Small tweaks with contrast and white balance.In my camera bag
I have a Canon 70D Body, Canon 10-22 EFS F3.5 Wide Angle, Canon 100mm F2.8 L Macro Lens, Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L Portrait Lens (Good for video), Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS Lens (My favourite!)Feedback
Capturing something similar......mmmm I for one think that location is important. Light and timing just as much. I am surprised with the response I got on this shot. Lions and Cheetahs in my opinion is cats that people take lots of pictures of....so for me/you to get some response will take something special. Happy to share with you....love the site!!
