What a handsome lion, Dave! Great composition and attractive habitat. Viewed large, this image really comes to life and reveals excellent detail, particularly in the shadows. Curious, where in Africa this shot was taken? Always a pleasure to view your lion images, Dave! Excellent work!

What a lovely study of this handsome male! They just have such a regal air about them, don't they.

I never tire of studying, observing and photographing the big cats, and I never tire of appreciating images taken by others, especially when like you, they are so in tune with their subjects.

A real beauty, Dave- such a classic pose and so regal. I like the look on his face and the side-turned head- makes a wonderful composition. .

This is really a handsome boy with the black in the mane. Love the play of light in this, and the the contours of the landscape.
