This is great! This is one of the closest shots I have ever seen. This animal has such a kind looking face at the moment! They are such beautiful creatures and one of my favorites. I have upladed this to my favorites. Thank you for sharing this image with me.
Is that Aslan? Absolutely fantastic shot of this lion!! He does look like he is checking you out, but I would be afraid to stick out my hand to pet him.
I sure hope that was a zoom lens! It looks like you're just inches away. What a fascinating expression on the lion's face. Looks like I should be able to reach out and pet him.
