Love Triangle

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Two females & a male lion at Ruaha NP, TZ. The male was interested in one while the other was trying for his attention but gave up, the expressions of the two females show it all. Had to shoot @ 5.6 as I was already at 1600 ISO.

Lovely 'story telling image' ! I agree that the expressions (all 3 imo) are the highlight. Looks like difficult light was well handled and the crop works well imho

Hi Sanjeev -- haha nice capiton ! yes the expressions says it all and you have done well to capture that mood , not an ideal setting though but worth sharing the moment .

TFS !

Hi Sanjeev - Interesting moment and pano crop works but for me the lioness in the fg detracts from the image rather than enhances. The dof works but for me it is the expressions on the mating lions that are key and I would have tried to zoom in on them. We each see things differently though.

TFS,
