I was watching a piece of this movie tonight, went to my computer, and quite coincidentally processed this image from our Kalahari trip last year. If you've ever seen the movie you will know why the title is apt :)
We came across this large male lion feeding on a kill late one afternoon in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. If he hadn't moved his head in the long grass we would have driven by.
I love the "hidden hunter" feel here, with the eyes partly visible even with the sun shining from behind the subject, giving that eerie feeling that he's watching you from the shadows...like a man-eater...
All comments welcome.
