The wind in the Serengeti was often very strong, it had occassional advantages enlightened

This fine male looks to have his hairstyled by Fabian (an Elvis impersonator from the early 60's) sad

I think he's going bald and it's a comb over. (smile) Unusual capture of this big guy. Emphasis on "BIG". The light wasn't with you, but a really nice capture nonetheless.

Grrreat Ken, love this one!

Almost looks like he just came from the hairdressers with that gorgeous mane enlightened

Hey Ken,

So is this the Donald Trump of lions? Kinda has the blowhard look... enlightened

I agree with Jerry that the light wasn't helping you here, but you came away with an interesting image anyway.

Nice-looking male, and I like the windswept look.

I'd have liked a tad more space left and bottom, given his walking direction.
