Well, as I'm running out of time, I'll skip ahead to the peak moment of the attack, after the lioness has worked her way to her feet. Here she has leverage and the full power of her body available to pull the wildebeest to the ground, and is just starting to force it over to the left in this frame. This is about ten seconds into the attack, and somewhere along the line I realized I should zoom all the way out to 200mm, so this is cropped to a vertical from the full-height horizontal.

Now this is nature in the raw. A shot I hope to have the opportunity to emulate myself soon.

This is a superb image and very compelling to say the least!

Congrats

Best,

Chas
