Haven't had time to post or critique of late. Hopefully, that will change.

In the Tanzanian NPs you've got to be off the road by sundown, so we were quite fortunate to have the last rays of light on a lion very near our lodge. Don't have the technical information, but likely 1D2, 500 & 1.4TC. (Cropped to 4x5 aspect ratio but the color is straight out of the camera.)

I love the late afternoon light in Africa Rich and you made the best of it here with this glowing Lion. Great eye contact too and good detail to include the ever present flies. 8) 8) 8) :)

The light and partial hidden face make for a very dramatic image. Great shot.
