Invisible...threat-Tarangire N.P.-Tanzania (NWF 2009 honorable mention award)

The guide-driver was absolutely sure...."There is a Lioness hiding-

stalking this Zebra herd we watch about 20 feet away"...Well it took

me almost 5 minutes of intense looking to finally spot her cause the

landscape was high grass as you can see on the photo!She remained

there totally motionless for more than an hour!I was expecting her

to finally unleash an attack but finally nothing happened!

Amazing image. The cat is camouflaged so well, it looks like you painted it in w/PS.

this is so absolutely typical of the patience of lions. great image...Bert

This is sublime Theodore! Beautiful and so demonstative of the brilliant camouflage of the lion. I really commend you on this shot, its really different and stands out (unlike the lion!) from the usual kind of all in focus, all clearly in frame shot.

 

Well done!

Theodore this is amazing shot. Great job of focus, Congrats on an awesome capture of one of the most beautiful animals on the planet.

Theodore, esta foto es fantastica, saludos. Joaquin.

Theodore, Puts me in mind of the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness". Looks like the only one with more patience than the lion was the photographer. Great return on your investment. Best, LM.

A great photo which leaves so much to imagine. cheers, Hans

Magnificent !

Wow, that must have been some guide to be able to know that she was there! Your picture is so incredible, I feel like I am there with you...patiently waiting for her to make the move. Feel great about this shot :)

This is an amazing photo Thedore. Stunning actually, I can see why the judges gave you such high merit. Thanks for your comment too, by the way.

This photograph captures the true essence of a lion and what makes it the top predator in Africa. Truly an amazing capture....7/7.

Astonishing!

I was in Tarangire this August but I didn't have the luck to see a simba in a close proximity. I envy you for that:)

Regards.
