Amazing photo! I wonder how close you were? Everything about the photo is beuatiful and so intense. Color is terrific as is the expression on the male lion’s face! i love the out of focus, menancing and stormy background sky.

I’ve heard about the stamina of mating lions. So……….did you watch them for the entire three days? Photographers are strange folks, aren’t we?
It’s a nice photo, but there are many others on your website I like better. Let us see more of your work.

Hey, come on.. . they’re just beasts. Yeah they’re noble creatures to our eyes, but in love?.. Nah.
However,I too admire your achievement in capturing such a scene. Great dedication to your craft.

That’s a tremendous shot. Just dodge the face of the lioness a bit.

Just a wonderful feeling. It’s good to see something so beautiful, especially these days, when there’s allot of negativity out there, too see a photo like this makes one feel soooo good.
Thank you,

Lovely POTD! My husband said the photo reminded him of us – two older (40 year married) people who love hanging out together.

This is a nice shot of nature. One of my favorite subjects, wild animals in their own environment, although I do not personally photograph this theme. I do appreciate photographers whom do. This is exceptional in so many aspects from the subject to the technical quality. Congratulations on a well deserved POTD!
