This big Mapula male was taking some time out and relaxing in between mating bouts with his female.

Nice profile Marc. He does seem to be enjoying the breeze. Clean shot with a nice BG, good color and nice detail in the mane. Maybe a little bit of a cyan/blue cast in the white beard?
Nice lion, seems quite young and a black mane. Let's hope he can breed and we can get a few nore non-mohican lions in the area. I will be extremely boring and say a little more head turn towards you would have been nice.
Hi Marc, I like the detail in the mane, together with the glancing away pose. Good to see the eye, and maybe toning down the BG a tad, will make the colours pop even more. Well captured.
