The Boys are Back

It has been some time since Tim, their father, took his three sons away, nobody knows where.
Now all three are back this one was not with his brothers as he was busy spreading his genes,
All three of them have grown up into fine males.
Taken in Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda.

Love shots like this with habitat too.
Good stuff.

Nice portrait, Ken. I like the match between the lion's colors and that of the grass.

Ken it is really interesting to see the difference in the coloration of these brothers. I really like the dark rich color of this one's mane. Another great look here.

The warmth of the grasses in top background add a good feeling to this capture, as does his interesting expression.

Really nice image, and a gorgeous cat. He sure is dark, even down onto his legs. Nice comp and BG, too.
