Golden Lion

This fine Male was kind enough to pose for us in the dried up river bed of the Ruaha river, not that it was easy to get near enough.

Fantastic shot. I like the warm light, the composition and the panorama format.

Regal pose is the right term for me too. Looks like he is surveying his kingdom. I like the warm light.
