Hi Morkel - like the cautious look on the youngster a lot. Also like the gold tones of the photo. I know you don't do a lot of alterations so it may be natural (and its placement just a coincidence) but it looks like there is some ghosting or smudge marks just above the middle of the back and the shoulder. Sorry, if it is natural.
TFS,
Rachel
I like the backlighting and you got good detail in the lion.
Wonderful backlighting and stare.

thanks so much for the kind comments everyone...
Rachel - that is just OOF long grasses against the dune in the background :)
Had a feeling that was all it was.
great kalahari morning colours Morkel!
thanks Andrew...
Hey Morkel, nice shot there. It isnt easy to get pics like these in National Parks where you have minimal control over vehicle position, and you have made great use of the backlighting here. I especially liked the lions pose, and the wrinkles on the forehead, he was intrigued by you guys I guess. Also liked nice separation from the BG Nice shot
Cheers
Grant
thanks Grant :)
