This is a very lovely image. Beautiful expressions from each lion.

A couple of things though.
First of all, it has nothing to do with the image, it is to do with the watermark. It's really annoying and detracts from the image a lot. I know you don't want people stealing your work, but maybe consider just placing a single image watermark? And not near the eyes, because they give so much expression and you don't want to loose that.
Secondly, i don't think the image does much with Black and White, it doesn't really accentuate any patterns or textures that colour wouldn't, and there's no real contrast, especially between the lions and their background.

So all in all it's a good image, it just needs a bit of work =]
