Lion portrait

[Silverpenguin]

Hi everyone, I just joined here and thought I'd share one of my favourite photos with of a Lion I photographed on a trip to one of my local zoos.

He looked at me just long enough to get this full frame shot then he got up and walked away!

D100
Sigma 100-300 EX @ 300mm

Thanks for looking

Oh..welcome to the forum.

I need to go to the zoo more often....oh yeah, and remember to take my camera with me.

Nice photo, I too like the lighting. Looks like his tongue is sticking out a little.

Fuzzy may he look, but I would not dare go to near to him!
He does not look like a stuffed lion! Heehee .
Great capture, lovely light, even better crop!
(Why was it raining when within 10 years I once went to the zoo...!?!?!?!?!)
