Lions in their Natural Habitat

This poor Lioness seems to be distraught. The Wildebeest in the background appear to watching intently to make sure she leaves the area and is not a threat to them. I wonder where the rest of the pride is?

Congratulations on 9th

The early morning side light, the low level angle, a tack sharp photo, and a nice bokeh with the Lioness looking directly at the camera makes this an excellent photo. With only one eye being clearly visib;e, it adds to the mysteriousness of this photo.

Congratulations on 4th

I love the look of this Lion as he walks straight towards the camera The side light of the early morning or late evening sun adds to the mystery of this big cat. What is it that he is seeking?

I like the portrait orientation the photographer chose to go with. The Lion stands out with the soft single colour background and foreground

Congratulations on 2nd

I love these 3 Cubs frolicking away while on the move. I can't seem to figure out what the cub behind them is doing as he appears to be looking away from them. The photo is tack sharp and well composed.

Congratulations on 5th

This is a very nice portrait of this male sitting and resting on a road. The Lion is staring intently at the photographer. The photo is well composed; the striking tail fills the frame. The photographer has managed to capture a tack sharp photo with a low shutter

Congratulations on 10th

An excellent photo of this Lioness with the throat clamp. The dust flying adds to the sense of motion suggesting the Lioness may have just managed to clamp down on the warthog or the warthog is tyring to break free.

The photographer has done well to make sure the shutter speed was high and captured a tack sharp photo

Congratulations on 3rd

I really like this low angle photo of the 3 young males drinking. I wonder if these males were a part of a pride or have been thrown out of the pride and are looking for a new family

Congratulations on 7th

The photographer has captured the perfect moment of these mating Lions. The male looks ferocious, aggressive and powerful. The movement of his front paws suggest the act has just been completed. The photo is tack sharp and well composed

Congratulations on 6th

This photo reminds me of Mufasa in the Lion King, standing on the rock and looking over his kingdom. Little Simba is missing.

The photo is well composed, tack sharp and the warm early morning light is perfect. Looking up on the Lion adds to his majestic look.

Congratulation on the Win

Thank you for entering my contest. I feel compelled to comment on this photo as my comments have been deleted by the photographer on more than one occasion.

A Lioness shot at 25mm equivalent fills the frame!!!

While I have nothing against composites, Photocrowd provides photographers a section to detail their post processing work. I am of the opinion that photographers need to use this rather than fool the crowd
