Thanks for your kind words and observations.It's difficult to take a "different" photo of a common subject but you sure did it with this one. Unique capture!

Did you try and see what he was looking at? May have noticed a large bird. Lions are also opportunists and sometimes steal other hunter's catches. If he thought he had seen a vulture he may be thinking "Lunch without working."

I believe he saw some potential treat (food)

Beautiful shot. I'm so curious as to what he was looking at or what he's pondering. Gary

Gary thank you for your kind comment. My sense is he was looking for food or prey.

Looks like he knew he was posing. Nice capture.
Not for long. From the time I saw that expression and clicked the shutter, he was back to his normal expression

Surely was a good catch though.

Thank You Dean. It is what I call once in a life time expression. I did find another Lion that was angry because the photo group got to close and he growled. Got that expression also.

Quite often, it is more fortuitous to be lucky than good, or words to that effect. Timing also important. Looks like you are lucky and good. Hard to beat that combo!

We live about two hours from Out of Africa and have never been up there. I may have to go just to see this lion. What a beautiful shot at the right moment.
