    Default Kalahari male Lion.

    Just back from 3 weeks in Botswana, where one of the highlights was some of these huge
    dark maned Kalahari male Lions, very impressive.
    Somehow always managing to keep their manes impeccable.

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    Well done Marc. Just the right amount of blur. I think I would prefer a tighter crop here as the cut just below the elbow is bothersome to me. My suggestion posted.

    The blur is just right and I vote for Robert's crop. Very nicely done.

    The tighter crop works for me too.

    Marc,
    Lovely image. I like the slow shutter speed treatment. I agree with Robert's crop especially to avoid the elbow joint.

    lovely specimen and I like the motion blur achieved Marc. just watch the snout for some blown whites and in areas where it's not physically blown a loss of detail. :)
