Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!

Mr. L took me walking in a park last weekend that he's been going to since he's been knee-high to a grasshopper. Now while there weren't any tigers or bears, there were plenty of black flies, turkeys, crows, and this one lone lion. Can you see it. It's in this huge dead tree with all these dead branches and vines twining around it. I've tweaked the photo in some other copies for contrast, color boost, angles, and blackNwhite. I'm sharing the original with the highlights up to 100%. Gotta love the fun you can have with iPhoto!

I always forget how fun it is to tweak my photos. I try for surreal effect, almost like I'm painting with the camera. Can't explain it any better than that.
