This is another pose from the same mom and cub scene I posted on 4-24.
Safari camp Nesfu, Zambia, Sep 2005. The previous post drew a couple questions about if kill blood caused the fur redness of the mothers chest. From this pose I think yes, that is the answer since you can almost see matted fur/blood under her chin.
Taken in very late afternoon, just enough sun to rim the edges. Same Canon S2 P&S, f4, 1/80, ISO ?, lens around 200mm equivalent. Cropped, minor cloning out of BG distractions, usual curves to try and pop the failing light, sharpened but original image will not take a lot. Besides I think it is sharp enough, you can see individual whiskers on mom and cub. Also lion body fur does not seem to like to sharpen. Each "hair" is very close in color and shade to its neighbor, very little edge between hairs. You need an "edge" to be able to sharpen.
