BJ (Bob Jnr) takes his morning patrol seriously, with a real determination in his stride. Long may these majestic dark mane males continue to dominate the grassland plains.

What a beautiful, majestic creature! I love your perspective on this magnificent male and the perfect capture mid-stride with the raised forepaw. His expression shows that he is totally focussed on patrolling his territory. Wonderful image, Marc!

Great intense and determined look on this guy. The low perspective is perfect to showcase him against the sky and earth at the same time.

"The King" is a perfect title for this wonderful lion. I like everything about this image as others have mentioned plus I like the composition which includes 2/3 sky and 1/3 land as it seems to give the overall image a very open look befitting that he is the king of all he surveys.
