Captured this image in the late afternoon this past February in Botswana. These four lingered a while longer having a long drink of water, as the rest of the pride moved slowly on. C&C welcome.

Geoffrey I like the pose with three down and one looking like it's keeping watch,looks like strong light but well handled ,must admit nothing I would change,a very good image to view.
A powerful coalition of four lionesses - wonderful sighting! What makes this image for me is the one looking up while the others still busy quenching their thirst - well seen and captured:)
I like the space you allowed for the main subject to look into, and also the presence of the water which helps complete this image - nice framing Geoffrey.
Techs look great, SS and DoF spot-on. The light does seem harsh but you handled it very well.
Thank you so much for sharing, good work in the field and nicely processed back home, very well done
I like this a lot, especially for the one sitting up watching while the other three are busy quenching their thirst.
In an ideal scenario the light would have come from behind you, but I still like this image.

Hi Geoffrey - The sitting up lioness makes this image as others have said. Good choice on dof. Colors look good and you handled what looks like strong light well. I might burn a few of the brightest strands of grass if it were mine.
