    Default Two-headed lion???

    I posted another shot of these two Kruger brothers enjoying a moment of brotherly affection late one afternoon. This shot made it look like one lion with 2 heads, one yawning :)

    The whole pride was lying in the shade of an acacia tree close to a waterhole.

    Techs:
    Nikon D300s with 200-400mm VR @ 400mm
    f4.0 @ 1/1000 SS @ ISO-400

    Morkel,
    Nice action. The angle is good. Is this a big crop? Some more sharpness in the face would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    thanks for your comments Ken, Sabya & Harshadbhai...

    Sabya this is just about full frame? Only part I think could use more sharpness is the sleepy one's details - I sharpened specifically to place the focus on the yawn?

    Morkel - I like this action shot. Lucky you not having the tall grass in front of the eyes:). The comp is spot on to me.

    Looks good and quality just fine !!! Like the peak action and about the only thing I could suggests is having shot with more dof !!! The animal on the right is sharp and captures my attention, like it as presented !!!
