    These two lions were laying in the shade with the setting sun behind them, a bit awkward but I think it is not too bad

    I tried going to Matusadana last year but the road into there was just to bad and I was towing a heavy trailer. We also had a blow out the day before and only had one spare tyre Pity as it looks like you had a good time there.
    Lovely aciton and you done well with the light TFS

    Vivaldo,

    Thanks for your comments


    Having driven the road in from Gokwe, I vowed never to do it again. Now we cheat and get a flight from Vic Falls to Bumi Hills and then a boat

    Action well captured here, Ken.

    I would look to possibly crop from the RHS and pump a bit of warmth through the shaded areas.

    Nice action depicted Ken with good shadow detail on this pair.

    Marc and Russell,

    Thanks for your comments, I rarely "warm" up my images but thought I would give this one a go.

    Probably too much?

    Ken, what a shot! I liked it as it is. Its a treat to watch these mammals at these times.
    I also have a few of mating scenes from South Luangwa NP, Zambia. Will try and post some time.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I will definitely take your advice and fly out of Chobe next time. I also will never go by road again, it's to hectic I like the warmer version better.

    Great expressions captured. I would go for your "warmer" repost, it has turned out nicely...
