I wonder how these lions react to flash? And, would you please mention the camera, lens, specs, etc?

Dear Ajit,
Flash is no problem for most lions. I like to work at dusk, with a powerful Quantum Flash. This never evokes any reaction.
I took this shot 3 years ago, using a Nikon D200. 500 mm lens.
Thx

I like the concept of what you were doing and I like that the background is totally softened. I find the effect of flash on the eyes to be distracting, however, giving it an eerie feeling of unnatural, like a dream lion.
