we saw a pride of about 20 lions resting in Maasai Mara. Many of them were yawning displaying those rather sharp teeth ;-)

Hello Paul,

The display of those teeth explains very graphically why we keep these animals at a very respectful distance.
The cropping is good to present the head as a good composition with excellent details all round.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Paul

Great capture of the Lion, I think they must have had a hards night looking at this wide Yawn.
I like the POV and the tight crop.
Good details and colours too.
