A lion’s eyes are intense and forward-facing, built for sharp focus and excellent night vision. I captured this close up, of a lioness peering through the savanna grasslands, in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 640, f/5.6 at 1/800th of a second.

The grass nicely frames the lions face. It brings out the green in its eyes.
Lovely view of that lion’s face through the thin veil of grasses.
Wow! Great capture. I feel like there are many stories behind those amazing eyes!
