These two lions were part of a very large pride we saw in the Maasai Mara of Kenya. I think there were fourteen or more. That’s how many walked right by us as they headed up a hill to take an afternoon siesta, not even looking at us as they passed. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 175mm) ISO , f/2.8 at 1/4000th of a second.
It’s heart stopping, in a joyful, exciting and humbling way, to be so close to them. It’s not Disney World, and we are in THEIR space. Wonderful moment to capture Mom & child, side by side.
That is a wall hanger, Sean! The handful of in-focus grasses, roughly in the same plane as the in-focus lions, just adds to the beauty of this image. Great shot, Sean!

That had to be a thrilling experience!
An everyday moment in the daily life of a lion. Nice capture.

Magical moments like this are what drew me back to Africa again and again! Thank you for sharing, Sean! Great work!
