Beauty and the beast

[Pietro Luraschi]

Male lion and yellow pansy. Ruaha NP, Tanzania
this male was very aggressive, he was mating not far from the road and was surrounded by butterflies.
the light is not the best because it was very cloudy, we were in the middle of the rainy season
F 6.3 1/800

Cool capture Pietro! I only wish you would have included a little bit more of the lion to include the complete curvature of its mouth and a bit more room behind the eye.

A very interesting image, Pietro. I agree with Vincent's comment above. This would look even better if it was posted at 800 pixels on the long side. Keep them coming.

Great image Pietro. I love the contrast between the massive scarred lion and the delicate butterfly.
