Finally finding some time to work on my Africa images from August.
This image was taken at the Masai Mara out of Alex Walker's Nkromobo Serian as we were arriving late in the day.
Lions are a pair that had been mating in the tall grass.
Canon 1dx with a 70-200L + 1.4x TC @1/500 sec at f/5.6 ISO 800. Shot before the firmware fix was available addressing the focusing issues that the 1dx had with the TCs...
IMO softer focus seemed okay here. I know that the grass is distracting on the lions face but was not really able to remove it to my satisfaction...and the grass colors IMO seemed complimentary to the mood.
LR4, CS6, Nik Color Efx Pro 4, Arash's Sharpening techniques.
