The only lion at Black Pine, this was a very difficult one to get because of the fencing, and distance between the lion, the fence, and where I had to stand.
Well I will say you did a great job with this photo it like the lion as found the shaded area to rest from the heat of the sun,Love the light in up the lions eyes and the sunlight in front of the lions face and very nice sharp detail as well.
I can understand how difficult it must have been Sandi. Still you did manage to get a good close-up of the lion. He looks sort of tired and not so happy.
Outstanding job on this majestic cat, if you had not mentioned the fence I would not have known you had to shoot through it. You really captured a lot of detail in this image Sandi.
I like biffobears' (Richie) take on the situation but just the same you better stick to shooting through the fence Sandi. I think you got the king close up enough.
