Still, I think it's well done even though it's grainy and could possibly have captured more of the lions and carcass had it been taken from another angle or with the animals moved some.

3) the grass itself. Unless someone can convince me that unmowed grasslands actually look like that, I'm going to be suspicious that this was taken on a game farm, and therefore I'm going to be skeptical of the entire description. I went ahead and followed the link to the author's website, but the

There is some ugly false-color grain on the Cape
Buffalo—however, I feel like editing software could resolve this (i.e. Photoshop CS2 replace color). Besides this, it is an excellent and candid photograph that displays its subjects well as long as the concepts of social structure & predation.

African Buffalo carcass. Threatened by deforestation, hunting and climate change, lions are an increasingly threatened species and are plagued with chronic food shortages. Large mammals comprise an important part of a lion's diet as the cats can

19:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks Cody.Pope; you, along with the taller foliage on the left of the image, have convinced me that this picture, is, indeed, what it claims to be. And this kind of shot of lions in the wild is sufficiently difficult to get that I'll forgive the technical and slight

1, The picture illustrates what it's supposed to illustrate (lion with a cub feeding) without it. 2, This picture does have some technical issues, but it's rather unique. 3,Your original research based on guesses should not influence your

Very striking, well-composed shot. Lions are caught at attention over a brilliant mass of meat. Large size, very encyclopedic, original and artistic.

Despite bit's technical issues it's a unique shot and considering how tough it must be to take such a shot they can be overlooked.

Great and unusual picture. Cubs most of the times stay with females. It is rare to see a cub and male lion eating together.
