Mark - I love the opposing tails and their body positions. Agree with your self-critique on dof/aperture. I would clone out the fly on the very lhs. Btw did you apply any blur to the bg because it looks like a rather sudden line on the rhs as compared to the lhs?
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
I applied no blur at all, only noise reduction and sharpening. I would normally remove the fly, but left for authenticity.
With many thanks,
Mark.

Awesome light and I love the dust and the action. More DOF would have been nice but the moment happens so quick...What can you do!

Hi Dumay, thanks for your comments.
This is a repost with the fly removed. The sudden demarcation on the lhs that Rachel most likely refers to, is in my mind most likely due to the dust and it's depth??? That is the only reason I can think of at this stage.
Best wishes,
Mark

Well done capturing the action and the good body positioning. Only thing that could have been better would have been the rear lions chin not intersecting the front one's back.
With that camera, you could certainly go much higher ISO, thus smaller aperture, but would you have know you needed that DOF in advance.

Hi Robert,
I actually had it on f8, but my thumb was too quick for the action and I overcorrected. As you so rightly mentioned, how did I know, but I only make a mistake once and it will not happen again. Robert O"Toole's setup worked otherwise perfectly.
With many thanks,
Mark.

Hi Mark, like the action and mood created by the light and dust, composition is great. DOF has been commented on.

Nit covered, otherwise a great image, lovely colour and light and particularly like the symmetry in the tails.

Fantastic light and love the dust Mark. It's always difficult to get both sharp using long lenses. I like that both tails are raized.
Mark I am also dreaming about a trip to the bush, esp one to the Kalahari. Lovely shot Vivaldo

Lovely action, colour and symmetry, the slightly oof rear lion does not bothere me. I am no technical expert but doubt it would have been possible to get both in focus with your long lens
