Jan 04, 2009 17:20 | #1 Okay, so I've seen a lot of tiger and leopard images (and they are all great). My question is what about the King Cat? Does anyone have any lion shots they are willing to share? I haven't had a chance to get to the local zoo to capture one but would like to see what others have.

The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill

Even though they are older shots-they are still great. Your lion looks like he enjoys being the king of the cats. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture some images this summer.

Jan 04, 2009 19:12 | #9 Alan, what a wonderful moment to capture! As dangerous as these creatures are it's nice to be reminded how gentle they can be. Priceless image. Thanks again for posting. It definitely has my thumbsup.

I see there are several dates on your pics, so it could be both, but I don't remember when John died). Ultra Big Al, nice shots. Jgrussell, wow, do I wish I could afford to travel to Africa. Amazing.  Yes, I know it's soft... I'm still getting the hang of the 100-400L, and between that and still not quite seeing right after the PRK on the photography eye....   -Rich

Could you post your lioness image here as well? Even though she is not specifically a lion- I thinks she'd be a great addition here.

Here are a couple of mine: You have some great shots. The first one looks as if it is crying. The open mouth and stretching are unique as well. Thanks for sharing.
