This will not appeal to all I am sure. It is rather cluttered, but I thought it to be a rather unique scene and like the atmosphere and the rim lighting.

Not a good title, I know; I am open to suggestions

Was the title in reference to the pack of lions waiting just off to the left.....lol.... (sick...i know..)
Back to the picture.... I love it... its natural....the back light is gorgeous its busy but that's how nature is sometimes.

It is an interesting view of wildlife. We have to work at seeing the detail but much is there.

Hey Vincent. I like the contrast of colors and the halo on the two giraffes on the right. You captured a nice atmosphere. Much better to see the large version.

Regards.

Not the kind that turns heads, but certainly rewarding to a more patient viewer. Love the light on the young one and the mother? Interesting how each one is browsing at their own levels.

Vincent,

I find this to be very interesting because it is different, not a wall hanger but neverteless a fine image

I like the color and the comp. the back light is nice. I am a little on the fence wishing it wasn't quite so dark in the foreground.

Really like the warm light filtering through the trees and the sky all ablaze in the background Vincent. Not an easy shot to make something of, but if this were mine I'd be more than happy with the result you have here!

I love images like this with moody filtered light. My kind of shot. Well done here Vincent.

I wonder if dodging the midtones very slightly would lift this a bit though?
