Well it is after 9 Eastern time even though it's not here!
I liked the snarl on the female's face. Have tried to get some warmth in the colors.

Canon EOS 3, 300mm 2.8 with 2x, sensia (?) beanbag on roof of land rover. This is pretty much full frame.

Cindy,

I am glad you waited until after family hour to post this so Dennis didnt get his hackles up! :wink: Nice behaviour shot. I wish we could see more of his face but since you could not ask them to move, you have to take what they give you. The shot does appear to have a green cast to it. Should be easily fixed in PS.

I must have been in another vehicle as I have a very different angle of this. Great behavioral shot!

This is a terrific behavioral shot. I would love the opportunity to see these big cats sometime. The look on her face and his posture are a lot of fun. Another very nice shot Carol. :)

This is a great shot!!!!! :oops:

If you look closely, the lioness is not the only one snarling...they must be both enjoying themselves immensely!!!
