Okavango swamp cat.

Okavango swamp cat.
Whether they like it or not, there are times in the Delta (especially this year) when lions simply have to cross water,
here this female takes it all in her stride whilst on the hunt for Buffalo.

C & C most welcome

Been a fabulous trip Marc. Love the low view and can sense the lionesses discomfort.

Sweet image Strongest point is the captured expression ... spells out determination and you feel she will get what she is after !!!

[Fabs Forns]

I guess when you got to do it, the sooner the better :)
Great action and pose captured.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wow what an interesting capture Marc. We were there a few years ago but never saw anything like this. Many thanks for sharing.

[Stephen Stephen]

Marc great low angle and the water splash from the fore paw adds to the sense of motion. She also has a look of concentration.

[Kiran Khanzode]

I love the lighting, the low angle and how the grass frames her.

[Stu Bowie]

Super comp Marc, and the striding posture with the right paw splashing through the water makes this. I like how you have cropped just above the reeds on top, and you have exposed the colour of the lioness very well.

[Russell Johnson]

Great low angle.

Moremi or Mapula?
