It was now up to this younger male Lion who wandered in to the Hollywood pride territory to restore some fresh blood after the resident pride male
was rumoured to have been shot whilst wandering across the river and out of the NP some months before.
Had to make do with the increasing harsh light (around 11.00am) but quite liked the riverbank setting.
Taken on a safari into the Sth Luangwa NP- Zambia in Sept '07.

Nice comp, exposure handled well. Great eye contact, a little eye work and a touch of selective sharpening to the face make this sing. Well done, killer bg. TFS

Hey Marc,
Agree with the slightly higher angle....only to get the far shore a bit further away. Considering the light......you did well maintaining the detail too! I think you can get away with a bit of eye lightening......to further enhance the stare.
