There are alot of horizontal parts to this image. For example, there seems to be a log in the shape of a thick horizontal line. The placement of the lions' faces. The way the lion rests, the one farthest to the left. The grass area below him. The shape of negative space toward the top of the image. And of coarse, the overall landscape shape to the photo. With horizontal lines being dominant, eyes are more likely to go from left to right, or vice versa.

Two colors fill most of the image: orange and green. This odd pair tends to work, especially since it's 2/3 of the secondary color scheme. It's almost intense.

Values look really luscious in this picture. This might be from the fact that there aren't alot of pure whites, but alot of the colors are close. Same with the dark colors, except they're more rooted with brown. Most of the values in this image transition from one to the other many times. This kind of breaks the positive space especially.

The greatest amount of movement can be seen from middle lion, to foremost left lion. Not only are they're faces close enough to create a visual transition, but they're faces are also alike. This creates a repetition of shape, witch also creates movement.

However, something about the body of the resting lion looks strange to me. Unfortuneatly, I can't find logic to explain what it is or why. When the image is cropped from the right to the middle lion's ear, the body doesn't look as strange, and the movement is emphasized. If this route is chosen, it would also be best to change the title so it could work conceptually.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck.
