Hi Basil, trust you are loving the 1DX MKII, it really is an awesome camera!
Nice frame, but I would come in from the RHS. Like the soft light and lucky you had the pride almost cooperating for you, any frames with the LH lion looking to camera with the rest of the pride? Definitely remove the black mark in the BKG, it just spoils the image. May be a tad more of selective Contrast or a midtone channel layer to add a bit of 'bite' to the subjects. Hard to tell on distance and if this is a crop, but 6.3 may have give a hint more DoF?
TFS and don't forget to add your thoughts on other members postings, thanks.
Just love the soft light and the attention you've garned from all but one cooperative, agree on cropping a litte off the right, making it less central.
I'm wondering Basil, if these 3/4 yr old males were with the 2 lionesses?, as they will eventually make for a strong coalition.
Hi Basil ...a lovely and classic frame of Etosha and its vast landscape , love eit .
Overall the image does work well for me , taken up a notch with that sweet soft light .
Comp does work well ....with the lions lined up in front and the wide landscape in the back. Depending on your ethics ... i am with Steve of removing the dark spots in the BG .
Hi Basil - This is very nice. There's always one lion that has to go off script and not cooperate. Agree with the crop suggestions. Yes, the light looks nice and soft but the reddish tones look a bit strong for my recollection of Etosha where the pan was more often stark white.
Hi Basil -- A really lovely scene , apart from the one non-cooperative lion the image has a lovely feel, nice colours and beautiful light . really enjoyed viewing this one.
