San Diego Safari Park, Escondido, California, USA. Here is our regal lion, a few moments after posing for me - here is where he stayed for several hours. Makes me want to take a nap!

This is a wonderful shot, Thad. I did my usual and downloaded the shot to view in great detail. I found nothing that would qualify as a negative in any way. There's something about this guy in this particular position that makes him appear enormous (or enormouser). I might head out there next winter with my camera.

The males are so lazy that they leave all the hunting to the females. Very nice capture of the king doing what he does best - napping.

Thad, in my imagination I can feel some trembling at my screen caused by the snoring of His Majesty 'The 'King', lol.
A 'Royal' image again. Well done, my friend!

He seems to be enjoying the afternoon sun, Thad. Perhaps he's dreaming of one day becoming the MGM mascot. Well done.

That looks like a typical cat - just a much larger version! Excellent Thad.

He looks sound asleep. I thought they slept under trees but it is not Africa and not as hot..Great photo Thad.

A great capture of the infamous sleeping logs of the Serengeti. They've been known to fall without making a sound when no one is around. A brilliant idea for the zoo to add a stuffed lion to the scene. It really helps to put them in perspective. I always carry my chainsaw with me so I don't get caught unaware by these lumbering beasts.

Nice lighting, colour and DoF in the photo, Thad.
