Magic light on this cat Ken. Great sighting and nicely presented

Ken,

This is...well...relaxing! So I think this one is very well-titled. If I had to come up with a nit it would be that single OOF branch in the LRC - but it's quite trivial in the "big picture" and the kind of thing only a photographer looking for nits would see (and be missed by the viewing public).

Cheers and thanks for sharing...

Brad

Great setting n beautiful pose!
Ideally, I would have preferred full tree line behind the lion, but understand, our own movement is restricted at times.

He looks pretty cool to me. Great low perspective of this fellow perched in a tree.

Sweet One Ken
