The dominant male from the Kusini Kopje pride is on dawn patrol.
I was very pleased when I saw the opportunity that this beautiful male presented me with as it straddled "it's" kopje (rock outcrop) to survey his kingdom.
Tried as best I could to get that tail extended, it just didn't happen for me on this morning..............musn't grumble. :mrgreen:
This pride is protected by 4 big males.
Kusini plains/Serengeti- Nth Tanzania..

D4  80-400AF-S  1/4000s  f/5.6  ISO1600@ 210mm.

C & C most welcome

Cheers

As you say, if only the tail..... Nonetheless a fine silhouette Marc! and lovely clear outline against the dawn sky.

Beautiful shot, Marc! The gradient in the sky makes for a really interesting background. To my eyes, this could benefit from a little more sharpening.

The tail extension would be nice, but man this is an excellent image regardless. Love the blue sky fading to warm dawn colors in the lower left. Simple but stunning composition and the silhouette, of course, is lovely.
