stuny Posted November 9, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2007 Jaap - Superb subject, composition, details, light and color. Since it's the green season they seem very well fed, and I suspect the lioness is nearly in estrus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 9, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 9, 2007 Fantastic, the expressions of the two lions are caught in a perfect moment of "twin-look", and fine the green-yellow grass OOF in background. And the good ol' TE 135, what a fine lens...your "4.0" refers to the lens in general or did you shot wide open ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted November 9, 2007 Wide open. I prefer to use lenses wide open as much as possible. I think it brings out the character of the lens best, and I like positioning the plane of focus. And thank you and thank you Stuart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billh Posted November 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 10, 2007 Wow, you were very close to these guys. Are those flies (see black spots) on the male? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted November 10, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 10, 2007 Beautiful portrait. They look so at peace. I too think those black spots are flies. Good detail Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted November 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wow, you were very close to these guys. Are those flies (see black spots) on the male? Yes- they are . The King of the Savannah is sorely plagued by ticks and flies... Thank you for your kind comments, Caryl and Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
