Had the opportunity to show friends from the USA our wildlife last week. Here is two photos of a very good lion sighting we had.

Thank you Fons.

The second photo was with the D800 and 300f2.8AFI coupled to a 1.7TC @f8, 1/640 and ISO400.

The first photo is with a D2X and 70-200 VR1 lens combo.

Very nice Fanie, I also prefer no. 2

Very clean-looking lion that! If I may ask, where?

Old and dominant specimen. Would not want to meet him in the wild. Impressive expression.

The comment is on #2. Great model interaction.
