Two-headed lion???

[Morkel Erasmus]

I posted another shot of these two Kruger brothers enjoying a moment of brotherly affection late one afternoon. This shot made it look like one lion with 2 heads, one yawning :)

The whole pride was lying in the shade of an acacia tree close to a waterhole.

Techs:
Nikon D300s with 200-400mm VR @ 400mm
f4.0 @ 1/1000 SS @ ISO-400
Exp -0.3

certainly looks like two headed , love the one calm pose and another yawning , excellent , BTW won't be bad idea to carry piece of chicken meat to get them in action ;)

Morkel,
Nice action. The angle is good. Is this a big crop? Some more sharpness in the face would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Two headed Lion, I would not wish to meet one of those:)

Another good moment captured!

thanks for your comments Ken, Sabya & Harshadbhai...

Sabya this is just about full frame? Only part I think could use more sharpness is the sleepy one's details - I sharpened specifically to place the focus on the yawn?

Love the comp, pose, and light captured here. Very well done.

Morkel - I like this action shot. Lucky you not having the tall grass in front of the eyes:). The comp is spot on to me.

TFS,

Looks good and quality just fine !!! Like the peak action and about the only thing I could suggests is having shot with more dof !!! The animal on the right is sharp and captures my attention, like it as presented !!!

thank you John, Rachel & Al! :D
