This young male lion was very cheeky, shortly after walking by he started to chew our exterior rear view mirror, about 3 feet from me, I certainly did not move to get my other camera.

Love the detail in this one Ken. Lucky you at least had the 200-400.

Ken never had an opportunity to photograph anything as exciting as this, love the stare that you have captured.

Solid shot Ken. One thing about the shot that feels a bit "off" to me is how low in the frame the facial region is...wondering if a vertical capture (or crop) providing a little more room on the bottom would work even better here? Just a thought.

Cheers...

Brad
