Dan,
What a superb shot! I'm so against the aphorism of frame tight and crop even closer! most often it's plain wrong, IMHO as context is discarded for immediate impact.
Here, this framing is entirely fitting and well chosen. You've created an imposing window through which we have zero choice but to face these royal beasts, without distraction. It's so intimate and devoted to giving them the attention their birthright demands. Bravo! I must say there's a great sense of camaraderie and power-sharing here! I wonder if they are, indeed, brothers? Certainly in the wild one can have a pair like these fellows challenge the head of a pride and reign together.
Now, once again, I ask about processing. You have nailed the thinking about and taking of the picture. However, with re-processing from RAW, I think there may even be a lot more vibrant scary vigor and you will rule too!
