And King he is...

The lion looks terrible, frightening. The photo amazes. Fantastic!

In the Khalagadi transfrontier park, the place of big cats, we were lucky

this time, Every day we had a cat sighting. This time a lion waiting at a

waterhole to catch a meal. unsuccesful in his hunt, he was returning to

his mate up the dune, passing our car at a distance of ca 7 m, just

enough for my 300mm lense to catch his whole body in the frame. We

were not interesting enough for him to even look at us. Awesome

moment in the vicinity of the real King of Africa ..You see his dark

Kalahari mane... What a King.

Very good capture.

Jana ... the light spot on the eye of this lion is what makes the image so effective for me. Beautiful work, as always. Thanks for sharing it.
