[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken at the Lion Park near Krugersdorp in Gauteng. It looks like this male lion was trying to show me his insides. The sounds that accompanied this display was bone chilling.
I post processed this shot in Photoshop Elements 6 by adjusting the contrast.
Hope you enjoy this and THANK YOU for your visit.

Ben,
It's good to see you post. What a great capture here- timed perfectly with excellent lighting and details. I can almost hear Mr.Lion from here. Hope all is well and TFS Julie

nice shot. Great timing. Wish i had 500mm to play with hehe

best regards Henning

Hi Vernon...nice shot...well composed...I like the angles...

Roger

Incredible sharpness and original POV! Well metered exposure; with good balance of FG,MG and BG lighting highlights preserved. Did you shoot this with a tripod/monopod? I am curious as I was thinking about buying this lens for the N'mount and was tempted bu the newer OS 150-500 SIG. Would appreciate your opinion.

thanking you,

Dilshan

super and unusual capture fills the frame nicely.tfs

Hello Vernon,

That is a big mouth. Excellent timing and great sharpness.

Regards,
Siddhartha
