  1. A VERY impressive shot, Ferdy! The laid back expression on the lion's face just shows how dominate and confident he is! And the grassy plain behind him looks as though it is on fire! I love it! Posted 11 years ago
    1. Thanks Travis. I must admit this one is significantly post processed, glad you like it though! Posted 11 years ago
  2. Really great shot... Specially the fiery looking background. Posted 11 years ago
  3. Great processing, to me this is how a wild lion should look, scruffy, skinny and bedraggled, unlike the large fluffy felines that so many see in zoos and wildlife parks these days. This is nature in the raw, perfectly presented. Posted 11 years ago

The lion is one of the five big cats in the genus "Panthera" and a member of the family Felidae. The commonly used term African lion collectively denotes the several subspecies found in Africa. With some males exceeding 250 kg in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger.
