    One of the 4 males here that rule over the Kusini kopje pride posing at dawn to the bonus of a descending full moon.
    Just a wonderful area to regularly photgraph a lion pride in this habitat.

    D4 80-400 AF-S 1/125s, f/16 ISO3200@ 80mm. BB from front pax seat, F/F, curves, levels, mid pt adj-TK masking, ACR/PS CC '14.

    Kusini Plains- Serengeti, Northern Tanzania.

    Apologies for the long break as I have been experiencing major HDD/PC problems, but finally resolved, and now look forward to a 3+ week trip to Costa Rica on Monday, catch you later.

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Very nice photo. I like the composition very much.
    In the past we had lions in Iran, but unfortunately it's about 100 years that they were extincted. :(
    Regards,
    Amir

    A beautiful image I really like the composition and light. Sorry don't fully understand your short hand: "TK masking, ACR/PS CC '14" ???

    Hello Marc,

    Good evening, and sorry to come in so late, been away at the weekend:)

    Lovely framing here and the comp is great, this landscape is awesome and so is the lion in it... Love the inclusion of the Moon and I guess its presence dictates the mood of your image - I tried a more lighter version, not sure you will like it but just a feeling I had when viewing...

    Beautiful sighting and that sky is sublime, I miss the bush so badly and especially the creatures in it, I experience pangs of jealousy when I see images with lions in them

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
