    photographed this young lion one afternoon in the Kalahari. Powerful glare and strolled towards our vehicle through the riverbed..........

    lovely light that hits the eyes just right Andrew
    do you have some space at the bottom? since he's strolling your way, I can't help but feel that adding some "walking space" below and maybe slicing off some from the top would improve the overall composition as presented?

    Hi Andrew, nice light and detail with great eye contact. Nothing beats one of the big cats strolling towards you. Wow, look at the size of those feet !

    The eyes are just gorgeous and the you've captured the loose limbed pose of the lion very well.

    Nice looking Lion, any ideas as to what the strange "mark" is at the top of the LHS leg (as viewed) may be?

    Thanks Rachel and Ken. The mark looks to be dirt or some wet hair :)
