I am intrigued by the lack of the tip of tail (standing lion) as well as the characters' colour in terms of fur/mane. I like this very much, even though somewhat I do feel - and forgive me if I am wrong - that it is a tad too warm, and too yellow - when it comes to the lions. The eye contact is just brilliant, there's a tension, and a curiosity on the part of the two males that any viewer will certainly enjoy, I am certainly very taken with that "frozen" look on their faces. Detail is all there and framing just right, this is nice and sharp, I cannot imagine a better crop and really the grasses are not distracting as far as I am concerned. Bits of blood here and there to prove their capability to kill and fend for themselves, gorgeous young males and look at that their belly index! Well executed as always Andreas, and since I have never been to Etosha I might be completely wrong about the colour of the lions' mane
. I just love what you have captured and enjoyed viewing this, and I sincerely hope our October trip will give us some more lion sightings...
someone had acess to a pair of tin snips me thinks!
