•  Info Please read the story behind this image in Tip #28 (page 15) of Issue Two of A Sharp Eye on wildlife photography. I nominated this a couple of years ago, but it had many technical issues. Back then, the Ugandan population of these special lions was about 50, now it is 20-35. So to get five in one tree was fortunate. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:15, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support The link isn't going past tip 20 for me, but regardless, this is a special photo and would be even if these beautiful lions weren't so sadly rare. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:04, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Support The difference in quality with the original version is night and day. What did you do differently this time around? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

• I'm not sure what I got wrong last time (except lots). One big change is that as it's late morning there was a lot of heat haze which I have denoised selectively between the leaves. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Superbe catch, but you should really do something about your "monet style" NR... - Benh (talk) 21:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose overprocessed. --Ivar (talk) 05:36, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
•  moderate support fine with me although NR is a bit overdone. Technically that's a different picture/frame now (compare lion in the middle [1,2]) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:12, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Well spotted, I lost that one. The Commons software decided this was the same image and wouldn't upload it as a new image.Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:49, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support The background NR looks really a bit disturbing, but the lions are sharp and indeed this is a great shot of such rare animals. Much better than the existing FP (on Wikipedia) of those lions. --Domob (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support With a composition as incredible like this I would have no problem seeing noise. I really like photos with an acceptable amount of noise, I think there has been an exaggerated phobia-noise. --Wilfredor (talk) 17:41, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
