[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
African lion Panthera leo

I think lions have been described on this site ad nauseum. I will not bore you with the scientific detail.

I took this picture about 10km north of Satara restcamp in the Kruger Park.

Hi Jan,
Fabulous portrait of the Lion with sharp details and scary eye contact. Looks royal. I presume it opened its awesome jaws seeing you...gosh. Excellent POV to portray it and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Jan, this is a great close up of the Lioness, magnificent detail in the eyes and face, natural colour and great pov. Perfect dof for this close up.

Hi Jan Hendrik,
Very good wildlife close up...
You always see 'black tears'; I wonder what the function is and whether this is good or bad for a lion?
