Roaring Lion
Here is another from Kenya but this time taken in the morning sun as opposed to the afternoon rains.
This male was hanging around the females most of the morning and occasionally made his presence known with a determined roar.
More images from this years trip are available HERE
Canon 1DMK3, 300mm, f5.6, 1/2500, ISO400
C&C welcome

PS Yellowhammers showed up about 50m from the LO, then the snow fell, heavily!!!
Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Hi Steve,Originally Posted by Steve Kaluski
No. This is one that features in the BBC video clip. The final frame actually. As soon as I get the actual video file I will provide a link.
Yellow hammer on snow would have been impressive.

Hi Austin,
Wow, I'm glad I took a look at the Wildlife Gallery today because this one made my afternoon, for sure. The windblown mane and the growl are a double whammy and both are featured in precious morning light. The shot really makes my heart go pitter-patter and is a good example for other photographers to consider when looking for the WOW factor. Well done!

awesome pose, light and composition Austin - no fault or nit to be found...love it
The roar makes for a very dramatic image! Great color and detail in the mane as well.
Hi Austin
beautiful Male you have captured here, i know this one well with his unmistakable golden mane, could he be grimacing though from the scent of the females, rather than a roar!
Awesome specimen and awesome image Austin

I like the line of mountains and trees in the BG. The flowing mane makes this one.
Dynamic pose, specimen, wind in the face, and composition. Like it a lot.
What a nice image. Must have been magical to be so close to him. Very powerful.

Love the wind blown mane and magic lighting here Austin.

Nothing but an awesome image here. Love the wind blown mane, snarl on his face and wonderful light. Well done.
