Love the soft muted colours here Gabriela and glad you stayed with the full 2-3 ratio where others may have gone for a 4-5 portrait crop, just says more for me.

Hi Gabriela -- I too loved the soft muted colours and the intent gaze of her's ! Landscape format works for me as it presents the settings and the lioness stands beautifully amongst it . Techs look good as well. I wish some of that light was hitting her eye as well but that is something not under your control . A very pleasing image .

Hi Gabriela - I also like the muted colors and the nice, warm side lighting. The comp works very well. Have we seen images of the hyenas playing in the water?
TFS,
Rachel

Thank you so much dear Marc, Haseeb and Rachel:)
Rachel, I have shared in the past some images of those hyenas walking around, but not inside the waterhole. The waterhole was very unsightly and man-made elements all over the place, also there's a nice green water tank right behind it I will check this folder again to see if I find something worthwhile processing... Since it is predators month:)
Wishing you all a lovely evening,

Boy, she looks lean-and-mean! I can see what you mean about the stare. As other s have said I like the muted colours, with the flash of the early morning sun on her shoulder. The framing is excellent.
I always though hyenas were a formidable match for bit cats, but maybe lions are step too far.

Indeed Mike!
I must say, older lionesses have the edge:) This particular one oozes experience and confidence, a no-nonsense kind of girl.
Pity about the "chase" scenes I captured, all characters are turned away from the camera. I might put something together for the Story Sequences Forum, let me think about it...Would love to show you how the hyenas were running, legs in the air and looking over their shoulders.
Thank you so much for looking and comments, so glad you liked this!
Kind regards,

I'd love to see the sequence, Gabriela. I think it is easy to get so wrapped up in the qualities of individual images and forget that the story of a sequence can overcome a multitude of sins - especially when the story being told is full of drama.
What's the worst that can happen,eh? I am sure your reputation will stay intact
