This is the sister of my unfortunate lioness posted last week, thank goodness as she has two cubs on je same kopje.

I'm so glad she and her cubs have escaped the snares...so far. They are the worst scourge of the African bush. Too bad the authorities in Uganda are so indifferent to them. But this is a very nice image. I like the crop and the way she is framed by the foilage.

Good job of finding a clear hole in the vegetation to get this look. Overall, the busy surroundings are a minor distraction but your image quality on the lion looks spot on.
