On the Prowl (the forgotten files)

4 months 4 days ago #760624 by bryanpereira
I took quite a few shots of this lioness coming through the grass. Initially, I just glanced and didnt even rate the imported files. I had others with clear lions, kills, action shots etc that caught my attention. It wasn't until at least 8 months later just revisiting lion images did I take a closer look.
I was surprised by the sharpness and composition of a couple of them. When enlarged one of the shots even had the reflection of my vehicle in the lion's eye which I thought was cool, Shot at around 8 meters at 350mm.

My wife is sitting next to me and both of us are saying the same thing.  The cats eyes in the first shot are beautiful.

First off, the photos are gorgeous, especially the first one.  But also the story about the true in the reflection of the cats eyes is more like a needle in the haystack if you want my 2 cents! :judge:
