The strongest part of this image is the most important part, the focus point. The focus point of this project adds depth to the image allowing the lion to pop out of the work. i could improve the painting with the history brush. This image was difficult because every time i painted the stray lion hairs you could see the blue sky through the hair. The blue made the picture look awkward and takes aways from the focus of the lion.
           The easiest part of this project is the desaturation of the image. Also, the painting isn't too hard but more time consuming then anything. I would find a more suitable picture if I could do this project again. This was an amusing project with an outcome i was proud of.
