Hi,
Did you cut the pics of those lions out of another picture and paste them onto this background?
Regards,
Tom

What a great look at oversized kitties!
They look almost like they’re outlined, though. Just curious what would cause that?

Nice shot, well timed. The lone tree and its position is a nice fixture.

P.S. Why don’t you respond to some of the comments / queries!?

I knew lions secretly walk about on two legs when we’re not looking!
