This huge dark maned Kalahari male was starting to get up on its haunches
and about to charge our vehicle as he had done previously.
He did not like us intruding on his females.
Deception Valley, Central Kalahari- Botswana.

Wonderful. Can feel the tension and impending aggression. Could snip a bit off the left to move off centre, but minor thought really. Looks like another good trip Marc.

Would love to see the image but right now it doesn't seem to want to load with the page.

Great look. Not something you'd want to see if you were out and about on foot. Great sharpness. Agree with David about taking a tad off the left.

Appreciate the comments David & Steve, however taking a tad off the left still leaves the Lion fairly centered or more to remove the branch/twig on left?

Marc,

Fabulous shot of a "real" lion, I cannot think what could be done to improve it.
