could only be the Madikwe airstrip Ben :)

nice crisp image in good light - love the look-back pose and the lion really "pop" from the distant BG
how much of full frame is this? I would be tempted, if you have the space, to cut most of the blue sky off and leave more space on the LHS, almost a 6x17 landscape format?

Magic lighting and look back here Ben, agree on Morkel's crop recommendation.

Ben - I can only echo the comments of Morkel and Marc -great light and look back pose. Crop suggestion sounds good too.

TFS,

Great look back post perhaps a little more head turn to get a fulller view of the right hand e

I agree with the crop recommendation.
