Lioness - on a mission

Taken just before midday, light was bright, but not harsh, providing a very 'light & airy' image, with no real deep shadows, just a simple form, defining her physique. Some may fine the grass in front distracting, I quite like it, as it has an elegancy and I feel, in keeping with the tone of the capture. She had spotted some impala in the distant, so she decided to take the road her sister scooted around leaving the cubs behind in the tall grass, safe from any of the Hyenas & Wild Dogs. We then sped ahead and waited parallel to her and just waited.
