i think these are snapshots of interesting poses of the animals, i like number 5 the most.

if the background was kept simple it'd be much better. for number 2 i think the dark background fooled the metering and caused it to overexpose the lion. number 8 is an interesting composition but personally overmanipulation created an artificial effect, which does not appeal to me, personally.

number 5 is really cute! background is simple enough, and subject is distinguished. it's a pity the eyes aren't in focus.

#5 is good,too back soft on the eye and the reflection off the glass.
Did you used a high ISO for the shots here?
