You always do a nice job capturing that dramatic African light, Mario. I think the texture created by the backlit grass is tremendous, and I'd consider cropping a bit more off the bottom in order to emphasize it better (and also to get the lions away from the vertical center of the frame).

Love the mood and light here, nothing beats a Kalahari dawn...I do wish the lions were facing more towards the camera and the male's head was lifted out from behind his lady... :eek: :biggrin:
