    Lovely back lighting and nice detail on the body of the lioness.

    Nice pose and lighting on the lioness with an interesting pattern of light on the sand.

    Great rim light and I really like the texture in the sand. Also like the little bit of dust being kicked up.

    I like this one Ken, especially the leg positions and rippling waves of the sand.

    Love the light and pose, still can't believe you got them at the camp waterhole! We spent 2 days there in 2010 and heard lions but saw none...

    Morkel,

    We spent 4 days there (extremely cold) and heard plenty of roaring but saw only two females. In fact we saw no males in 8 days in the park, just goes to show how luck plays such a large part.
