Great timing! Even the sky cooperated with you. I've only seen one of these things out in the wild in my whole life, despite living in mountain lion country. No doubt I've been seen by quite a few of them. You must have been pretty excited here!

Kent thanks for comment but I think you are more lucky than I. I have never seen him in wildlife. This one is captive one. I am guessing you do not know Triple D, read more about them on: <a href="http://www.tripledgamefarm.com/" target="_blank">Triple D Game Farm</a>

Wow,
you really captured the action...great work

BTW, there seem to be a little of sharpening halo around the subject and the rocks

Excellent capture.I kinda got the hint that it was a captive one because I doubt there has ever been a wild shot of the lion like this and the fact that you used a 70-200 lense makes it real likely that it was captive.One is blessed to see one in the wild (providing it's not pouncing on your back).

Thanks for sharing
