Great view of these two. Really nice detail on the male's face and mane. While some may be bothered by the partial obscuring of the feamale by the grasses, I like it a lot, as it adds a very interesting and natural element. Just enough of the female is clear, and the open mouth and canines is terrific.

Ken, I think this a domestic violence or a family problem.-;)

It is a fantastic image with lots of detail on their faces as Sandy mentioned. The teeth and the eye of the female makes the image very dramatic.

Awesome... Great setting & love the emotion capture of both couple.

Fantastic ! Absolutely no nits whatsoever ! The flowering grasses make for an interesting setting and channel the attention to their snarling faces.

Thanks for your comments, they certainly gave us a good display

Long grass is an inevitable problem during the rainy season.

Terrific frame, very well executed !!!

The larger photo is the one to see, definitely! The expressions on both are excellently captured, and the grass actually adds to the drama, and is not a distraction. Very well done!

Wow, that's some terrific action. Super detail on their faces, as it should be. I think I might be tempted to crop this a bit tighter if possible, to emphasize the expressions, the grass on the left and right don't add a lot, might work as a vertical.

Terrific drama in those expressions! I like it as presented, but also wonder if vertical presentation might work well.

Thanks for the further comments, much appreciated. I am with Ajit on the grass, I'll take a look at a vertical.

Excellent shot Ken, I would not change a thing, the environment is what it is. Wonderful timing to get the expressions, well done.
