Nice shot.

But you can post at 720x on the longest side, as its to small as is.

Thanks

I think the shot works well particularly the way both animals are looking in the same direction. Makes you wonder what they could be looking at.
The repost looks a little warmer in colour temperature than the first, which improves it IMO.
Must have been a wonderful experience up close to such magnificent beasts. :cool:

Hi Ian,

Yes very nice composition. White's are getting a tad hot but not overly disrtracting. Did'nt really know how to comment on your previous post, not really the normal firm handshake or hug between brothers was it? :eek: but still a very interesting bit of behaviour to record. Looks like you had a great trip.


Regards

Rob

Thanks for your comments, I have just posted the last of the Brothers series.

My own nit is that the closer lion has his eyes closed. Also I have about 40 similar shots, the rest full frame so no need to crop, but in all the others they are looking in different direction. Oh well

Thanks again

Ian Hay
