Description
This week features a weary, battle scarred mother just beyond the prime of her life. She had numerous open wounds on her side and it was also evident she was suckling, her cubs hidden out of sight. She is as vigilant and dangerous as can be despite her exhausted appearance. Sitting in the bush watching animals reveals many a story to the keen and watchful eye. I hope you enjoyed looking at this proud lioness.
Thank you for encouraging messages, and comments and visits to my fun upload.

She might be an older middle aged Mama, but there is the look of toughness and experience in her face. She is still magnificent as your capture clearly shows!
Fantastic Shot!!! Nice work!!!
Fabulous capture, I'm sure each of those scars could tell a story. Nice work!!
Great capture...
Up close and personal... a stunning image!
Outstanding artwork !! The framing is very nice.
really a great portrait, I love animals, bravo !
I can look at these magnificant animals in the face safly here.. thanks to great photography.
A superb capture of this battle scared beauty. Majestic creature, Oom! Hugs. Di. xx
the background is of interest, I seldom see mention of the condition of these big cats, our cats are of the garden variety, although there are wild panthers and pumas in England
wonderful portrait and very good postwork.
her eyes are like two windows leading into the bush. magnificent, Piet!
I feel like a steak...Excellent !!
Wonderful framing and fun image of the lioness.
Impressive portrait, the details are fantastic. Excellent shot!
Takes a lot of courage to capture this one. Impressive shot. Aloha
Fantastic work!!!!!!!!!
Superb image!!
What an amazing capture Piet. She does look a bit scared and a little scary. But beautiful no less. And it looks like you got pretty close to take this photo. Glad to see you posting once in a while;)
Die Geschichte zum Foto der Löwin zeigt warum die Aufmerksamkeit nach zwei Seiten gerichtet ist. Finde die Ohrstellung richtig nett. Der Rahmen ist so weit in Ordnung auch mit dem kleinen Fehler - das Beste Copyright. Die Großaufnahme ist absolut sehenswert. The story to the photo of the lioness points why the attention is orientated to two sides. Find the ear position really nice. So far OK, the frame is also with the small fault, the best copyright. The full-size view is absolutely remarkable.
Wow a fabulous close up of this poor weary lioness!! hugs Jane xx
great shot:)
This is probably the most wonderful close up I've seen of lioness. You've really caught the essence of who she is; a mother, incredibley vigilant, highly suspicious, ever alert, and a survivor.
Wow, I envy you getting to see her in person! Thanks for sharing the moment with the rest of us : )
Excellent shot of this mom.
Those eyes just seem to penatrate you. Just waiting for you to get too close.. Wonderful capture YET again mate :)
WOW! Fantastic framing of a great "mom". I love how you have her beard outside the normal frame. I don't know about you, but I'd have been using a LONG lense! LOL!
Was this shot taken in the wild? Regardless, excellent photo and framing!
