The morning when we left Nossob camp, I quickly dashed into the hide just to see if the mating lions from the previous night were still there. I only dragged the 200-400 with me. Great was my surprise when there were a new set of lions, even a female with 4 week old cubs right below my feet! The guys with the point and shoots had a ball shooting thru the slots in the floor while everything was too close for the big lens. This is FF at 200mm, I could not zoom back more.
D300, 200-400 f/4, ISO 800; 1/500; f/8; 06h11AM
C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Hi Callie You did come up with a good tight portrait !!! I like the framing as presented, might only lighten the right side a bit ... you could have had one with an iPhone !!!! Must have been exciting !!!
I like the tight portrait as an alternative to the norm. Maybe a tighter crop would allow you to lose the "non fur" space bottom right. I agree with the lightening suggestion and I like the eye contact.
