This image was captured two weeks ago in the northern part of Okavango Delta. Three males are from the famous "Magnificent Seven".

Wow, 3 lions in one photo. Amazing! I'm not sure if the front lion is saying hurry up or stop following me. Without his facial expression I can't tell (although I'm sure someone who knows these animals can) and I like the fact that I'm left guessing. Really nice Petr.

Interesting image. For me, I would have prefered the middle lion to be in focus, but that is just a personal choice. Thanks for sharing.

Petr, I love the placement and spacing of the three lions. I only wish the near one would have turned enough to the lens to show some eye.

The setting appears to be very nice, so is the placement of three lions in the frame. I wish the front one had shown side profile.
