    lovely image Pierre, would have been nice to have part of the other females face , crop on top a bit tight for me , I assume something distracting was cropped out?

    Hi Pierre, very nice moment captured here. The dust tells the story that something more has just happened, and the interaction between the two is excellent. Also like the lions shadows. I am guessing the pink on the chest of the left lion is leftover bloodstains from feeding..
    well done

    That is one expressive face. A lot of action implied in this image. Agree with Peter that it is a bit tight on top. Would love to know what the rest of the story was. Wonderful image.

    I like the crop and the look on the females face says a lot about the moment...I like the light and quality you have in this image!

    Very nice, great expression and I love the dirt being kicked up adds to the action and tension of the moment.

    The aggressive stance, posture & snarl coveys the story instantly Pierre. The disturbed dust just adds to the moment.

    a BIG welcome here Pierre! looking forward to more of your posts :)

    this is super light and interaction, although I would agree it's a bit tight on top.
    there's just no place like the Kgalagadi!

    Thanks for the views and comments!

    Peter: Nothing distracting was cropped out, its just the way i cropped it the 1st time.
    Grant: Correct, it is bloodstains.
    Hilary: There were actually 3 of them and these 2 were just playing around.
    Morkel: Thanks. When are you at Mankwe again?
