Sad Male Lion

We found this male with a female clearly in "mating" mode, he decided to eat a little Buffalo meat, She decided that he should be attending to her needs and wandered off,
When he went to find her he failed hence his glum expression.
Taken in Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda.

This photo certainly tells a story.  thanks for the background of this image.  I see no problems with the image as it is, maybe a bit more on the bottom, but that would be a very minor item.  Thanks for sharing.

I think he looks "used up." enlightened  Effective capture.
