[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A very serene shot of a lion relaxing in the mid afternoon sun at the Selous Game reserve in Tanzania.

He was very close to the Land Rover, so I have not had to crop very tightly, I have applied an unsharp mask - gaussian blur - unsharp mask. I like the way the cats mouth hangs open and I am also pleased with th e lighting and colours.

I hope you like it too.
