James! I'm sure you know not to get that close to a Lion while he's eating, so I'm figuring you are protected somehow, maybe in a car. I hope! As for the pic... it's very clear and detailed. It looks like someone spiked his hair for him and his eyes are menacing. The subject kind of grosses me out and I with the meat wasn't part of the pic, but hey thats a fact of life.
Nice shot,
Kit

Hi Kit ,

Thanks for commenting !

There is no chance that i would go that close to a lion without some sort of protection !
I was safely in the comfort of my vehicle when i took this photo !
In the lionpark where i took this photo's they advice you to keep your windows halfway closed , but i needed to open the window to get a clear shot .
Sometimes the lions are so close you can even touch them ! But they are still wild and very dangerous , and you have to be very carefull !
I agree with you with the meat part , but like you've mentioned it's a fact of life .

Thanks again for your time to look and comment.
