I recently took this picture in the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

All comments welcome.

Like the raised paw and the nice detail in the front lion. Looks like it could use a little rotation.

[David Fletcher]

Excellent head on view. Feel too, some ccw rotation needed. Thanks for sharing this Elmar.

[Jamie Strickland]

love it, the angle makes it feel like they are running around a horse racing track

Hi Elmar - Very compelling shot. Looks like the gang is coming to get what belongs to them! I thought exactly the same thing as Jamie, almost, but I was thinking about a race car track. I do like the look but I would rotate it flat unless they actually were on a banked turn (smile). P.S. Those paws are killer on the leader.

[Sid Garige]

Fantastic composition and excellent placement of subjects. Very well done.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Very striking image and I like the head on view and the two behind that are OOF. The action tells the story here. Well done.

[Marc Mol]

I too like the placement, and would keep the level as is, with no correction, I feels it adds that something to this nice image.

[Russell Johnson]

Really like this, like how the centre lion is framed on the edges by the other two pride members.

[Morkel Erasmus]

I'm actually with Marc here Elmar - love the tilted angle and great DOF here. I would do some more NR on the BG.

Lovely image. I would prefer a counter clock wise rotation. The triangular composition enhances the image.

Cheers,
