Hi folks .... yes we had great light in Nxai Pan , but mostly no subjects during the great times .
This time we got lucky with the lions .... well almost , as the pride decided to walk from the bushes right into the shadow of our vehicle .... so shooting angle was not so great in most cases . We almost could have touched them .....
Luckily some decided to stay a few meters away ....
I kept the image dark in tone and intense in color ... quite close to the original scene that I have in mind .
