Lion Chase

My experience of this picture is that it's like marmite, some people hate it and some people rather like it

It came about in Shamwari Game Reserve, South Africa. Mid afternoon the light had become both low and very grey from the rain. My camera struggles in low light and i was getting bad pictures with lots of blur. This made me realise that i could use to my advantage when two of the younger lions mock-ambushed their returning mother. Unfortunately they ran away from us but overall i felt lucky to have seen and pleased with the end result.


Update: I just had this printed (not from dA) onto canvas as an experiment. I'd never tried canvas before and it's turned out quite well albeit expensive!
Its still a wierd picture but i like it even more on canvas than screen. I'd hope to hang it somewhere in the house but i wish it was taken from the front
