Scary Yawn

The end of a lion's yawn if captured at the right time can look intimidating. This image was captured in the Mara North Conservancy which is part of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.

Hi Mario,

I'm normally not a huge fan of "yawning shots" (but so hard to resist shooting them!), but I like this one...probably because it looks more like a "threatening, snarling" shot! Sweet light and very nice isolation of the subject from the background. Colour palette is pleasant too. Nicely done!

Cheers...

Brad

Ha! Quite the facial expression to say the least! Love the soft pastel/muted colours throughout even if the real story is the face of the lion. Great shot!

Haunting expression regardless of its true nature. Beautiful light and nice background on top.

Cheers,

Hisham.
