Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous....is there any other word for this? though, for some reason, the male looks kinda startled to me...and the female has a look of 'ah, you'll get over it'...hehe, I don't know why~

I have a series of photos that day with the two having the same expressions and amount of eye opening... this shot catches him opening his eyes a little faster than her. I was amazed at the synchronicity they were exhibiting!!!! Oh yeah... and they were pretty busy breeding!!!

I really like this! The background echoes the texture of the lions, yet the sharpness of the lions in the foreground set them apart. Very nice.

papatheo In reply to alimuse [2008-03-04 06:11:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much... I also desaturated the background to further enhance the focus on the foreground!!!

I'll say... I have lots of shots of them "huddling"... this is one of the few I can use without cropping to just a head shot. If I used full body shots my dA site would be labeled "Kitty Porn"!!!!
