Hi All,

Here's a selection of Lion photos taken during my November honeymoon in the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve (South Africa). Truly wonderful experience and a must for any nature buff! Hope you enjoy...

nice set --perhaps a bit blown out but I think if you change the contrast a little it will come back. good captures!:clap

Congrats on the wedding! I love lions and these are great shots, number 2 is awesome, if only he hadn't that blade of grass hadn't been in front of his face.

Cool shots!

Also, I hope you don't mind, but I recropped the last one, using the rule of thirds to make it a bit more interesting. But, I'm by no means an expert on cropping and hopefully someone else will tell us what they think. :):

I also attempted to add "pop" by following DavidTOs "tute" (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2292454/1)...but I've done this like once...so take it with a grain of salt.

Very nice shots. In that first shot, it looks like the lion is getting ready to pounce.
