Photos taken in Kgalagadi Transfortier Park. The pride of lions (3 males and 3 females) just finished eating wildebeest when some male lion (outsider) came closer and lay down around 40 meters from the pride... The most important rule at safari...be patient.

Love the last one despite the white sky. Can you fix the sky a bit?

Excellent set. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

QUOTED IMAGE

Yes, that's a bit better! Although you don't have Image Editing OK turned on, I took some liberties and did this real quickly : (hope you don't mind, I'll never get to a place that I could take such a great photo as this!):)

I don't mind that you did that (I just turned on Image Editing ok :)). Nice effect with the sky.

Great lion action shots! All these were shot at 400mm with your 100-400mm?
