Since Lions are popular at the moment , went thru some images I captured last year ....
I like the '' mirror effect'' as the lionesses passed each other by on the way to the waterhole. This pride of 10 had just killed a Gemsbok not far from my camp .I heard the commotion as they killed just before sunrise ....was pleased when I got there to see them not to far from road..... would have liked the side lighting to be on other side ...but nothing I could do about it...
Excellent image, as noted above, Peter. The back lighting makes it very dramatic. I don't think the image would have the same impact if the light was coming from the other side.
I think the mirror effect and rim lighting make this an interesting photo. The stare of the left lion make it look like she's examining herself in a mirror.
