Tess usually sends me a butt load of shots but she must have been on her good behaviour and sent this beautiful lioness for her Negative Space entry.

October Challenge: Negative Space… Entry #8 Queen of the Jungle
c w p c 
Tess… this is so good! And I love how the lioness is looking into that negative space. A much more dramatic photo than if she was surrounded by all kinds of stuff in the background!
Thanks a lot Lala. When we were at the zoo, the only thing that I was thinking was the negative space challenge. That is why u only submitted one because I already submitted five prior, but that was just to try to confirm whether that was really a negative space. You know I don’t read instructions sometimes… LMAO.
Perfect negative space. Wonderful image.
Thank you so much Robin for the kind comments.
Great shot Tess I love the look on the her face!
They were fun to shoot!
I agree with Robin perfect negative space!
Yes Donna, they were too much fun to shoot.
Thanks for the nice comments.
Tess,
What a beautiful lioness! Fantastic use of negative space!!! Like how she is in the “spot light” showing off her beauty! The details of the face whiskers and hair is very nice! She looks so peaceful and content……however……I plan to stay on the peoples side of this exhibit!!!
Thank you so much Lorraine don’t be afraid, she is a good queen, she is harmless and kind. I want to test her kindness with you beside me. Want to try?
Lorraine, the voice of reason here. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Robin, please don’t scare Lorraine…. She is fearless… LOL.
Goodbye Lorraine my friend. We’ll all see Michael is taken very good care of. It’s been so – oh, I feel so alone…
Awww! No goodbye needed…. Lorraine will survive. She is not just a fearless woman… She is tough and a survivor.
Be careful Lorraine! You can’t believe everything everyone says. Remember, the lioness is a wild creature. She eats meat. Don’t do anything foolish even though you are a crazy woman!
No Lala, this test is imperative to know how crazy we are and how fearless Lorraine is.
Lorraine, if this is your destiny, how dare we attempt to alter it. But if you are being persuaded by an evil influence (i.e., a mess), then we must nose ourselves into your business and try to prevent your premature demise.
If you want to go to the great safari in the sky, please disregard…
I stand strong with Robin. Be sensible Lorraine!
A “great safari in the sky?”…. That is out ultimate goal Lorraine, it sounds so exotic and interesting…. Come on Lorraine, don’t be afraid, as I know you are not. Let’s go to the great safari in the sky….. It would be fabulous.
So what has Tess been smoking?
I’m not smoking nothing Lala, I’m drinking lime-a-Rita…. LOL.
Lala, I think we’re lost. Lorraine is lost. The dark side is winning. Should we introduce the (secret) weapon?
Most definitely! The time is now!
Capt shutterpug, I said ENGAGE the (secret) weapon! I meant THEN!!! O I hope it is not too late.
Capt. shutterpug, engage the (secret) weapon.
It is at the ready “other Robin”!
The dark shall prevail….. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Be NOT afraid Lorraine. Your destiny is safe….
May the force of darkness be with you….. WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!!!!!!
Oh no! Lorraine is under her spell!
NO NO NO Lala, Lorraine is safe.
Whew!
NO “whew” needed Lala.
Fall not under her spell.
Someone say something. Assure me you’ve not all fallen under…. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

So… I had this bad dream last night…
I’m sorry Lala about your bad dream last night. Hopefully it did not envolve Lorraine me and the lioness. LOL.
Alright you crazy women!!! I didn’t comment last night because I was in the ICU. No….not because I was mauled by a lioness, but because I was working!! Now, about touching the lioness. I will if Tess goes first. That way the lioness won’t be hungry when I go in there!!!
Cool! Cool! Cool! Lorraine. I will go first. LMAO.
Sorry also that I just responded now… I was actually in the ER, not because that I was mauled by the lioness, but because I was trying to figure out a strategy on how to rescue a mauled human being, of course by a lioness. LMAO again.
Hey, I’m trying to squeeze in here but now that I finally made it down to this reply box I’ve forgotten what I came down here to comment on!? Oh, yeah. Your lioness shot is excellent, Mimikakis. I like how you filled the image yet there is plenty of negative space too. Really nice light and shadow combination and the majestic expression on the lioness is endearing. Simply beautiful.
Thank you so much rebeKah. I sure appreciate your nice comments. Thanks for squeezing your comments in. 😜
