It does, it absolutely does Ken! I just love the black maned lions and really hope we see at least one. This is a really nice shot with him coming right at you. Well done and please do keep them coming. :toast:

This is a great viewpoint and pose. All you were missing is some warm low light!

Lon,
Thanks for your comments, I agree that better light would have been nice, unfortunately sun is often a rarity in Africa :biggrin:
