No quarter given or asked!
When one is surrounded by 15 members of the famous Selinda pride you're chances of escape are very slim indeed, that's not to say this very fit daga boy would not give up without a fight!
And fight he did, no quarter was given or asked as the battle raged on for close to an hour with the old boy getting to his feet on three separate occasions. In this frame, one lioness is reeling back to avoid those massive horns and
showing off her impressive muscles :bg3:
Taken at 9.43am, so lighting cond's starting to get quite harsh, no complaints really as one does not get to see a buffalo hunt everyday, especially during the day.:w3
The dead tree coming out from behind the rear lioness was unfortunate, (preferring not to clone out) but this was one of two frames that had the horn lunge.
D4 70-200 f/4VR 1/1600s f/7 ISO800@ 160mm.
Cropped around 10%, slight levelling and wanted to keep the lioness head in frame for extra context, bean bag from front pax seat, Curves, levels, TK masking adj, PS CC'15 & ACR.
