Wow! It is a great lion portrait!! And I like very much photographers in the background.
Lucky to meet a lion so still, just a top model lion! I never had been so lucky in South Africa :-(
Welcome to TE!

Hello Wolfgang,
Welcome to TE with two very original and highly professional photos (I just checked up on your first contribution). This is certainly a kind of portrait of a lion one doesn't see too often. I suppose the people in the background are safely sitting in a car (taking pictures of you!).
Best wishes,
Gert

Great PoV, stunning capture. You could even crop a bit on the top and on the bottom, by increasing the DoF.

Hallo Wolfgang,
What a great catch - you shot this one right in time with the people in the BG making just one more picture. I really had to look again and again if this was no manipulation here!
