A lioness takes a late-day snooze, but keeps her eye on any interesting developments out on the savanna. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 500, f/5.6 at 1/800th of a second.
Wow! This is a lovely image of that lioness at rest. It wouldn’t have nearly the same impact without the mountain in the distance.that perfectly enhances your big kitty protagonist, Sean!
Glad you noticed that. I had photographed this lion, and her sister up on that rock from several angles and we were about to drive off when I noticed a spot where we could get the mountain in the background.
True fact: The Lion King movie was originally 6 hours long, but once they cut it out all the scenes where the lions were just sleeping on rocks, they got it down to an audience-friendly two.

I prefer the original cut.
