These two lions were laying in the shade with the setting sun behind them, a bit awkward but I think it is not too bad

I tried going to Matusadana last year but the road into there was just to bad and I was towing a heavy trailer. We also had a blow out the day before and only had one spare tyre :w3 Pity as it looks like you had a good time there.
Lovely aciton and you done well with the light TFS:cheers::cheers:

Vivaldo,

Thanks for your comments:cheers::cheers:


Having driven the road in from Gokwe, I vowed never to do it again. Now we cheat and get a flight from Vic Falls to Bumi Hills and then a boat:S3::S3:

Action well captured here, Ken.

I would look to possibly crop from the RHS and pump a bit of warmth through the shaded areas.

Nice action depicted Ken with good shadow detail on this pair.

Agree with Russell here.

Marc and Russell,

Thanks for your comments, I rarely "warm" up my images but thought I would give this one a go.

Probably too much?

Ken, what a shot! I liked it as it is. Its a treat to watch these mammals at these times.
I also have a few of mating scenes from South Luangwa NP, Zambia. Will try and post some time.
Thanks for sharing.

I will definitely take your advice and fly out of Chobe next time. I also will never go by road again, it's to hectic :w3 I like the warmer version better.
