Len, we were shooting from a Landcruiser in the Crater. As you know, anytime you stop there and begin to work, another vehicle will soon appear to find out what you are looking at. We had been there about 10 minutes or so when another vehicle arrived. The lioness, for some reason, found that vehicle very interesting. Must have been the lady with the blonde hair. LOL.

This is really cool - I like the look and the diagonal composition.

I also like the details in this image and the facial expression altho it appears to be more of a contented, resting animal than a prowler. Would kicking up the contrast or darkening the lion a bit help or hurt?
