Sorry not to critique of late. Will be "up to my eyeballs" for another month, but had to finish this off.

This is actually a different lion and different tree than the last two posts. This female was lying atop an acacia tree. (For those unfamiliar with acacias, think thorns, lots of long thorns.) While she was lying down when we arrived, she didn't look comfy and promptly headed down to join a large male - who was quite clearly in charge as they headed off for a bit of privacy.

Great action shot! I really like how the V in the tree frames her.

No Worries Rich, we all know there are times we can browse and comment and times we have to rush in and out!! That's life!! :?

This is another great Lion/Tree shot with perfect composition of the tree framing the Lioness, lovely colour tones and superb detail.

I have really enjoyed this series.

Great job!!
