An amazing shot! Especially how you can see the power in the muscle on this adolescent lion, I've gotta give you kudos on this great snapshot :highfive:

Nice work!

"A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack."

Wow, what a great capture! :+fav:

Very nicely done. I love how you caught him on only one leg. It really helps give the picture motion and life. And that's something that's hard to come by in animal photography. Too often it's a picture of the animal close up, posed like it's had a recent visit to the taxidermist. Really great job here. :)

What an amazing shot; we rarely get any photos of animals in action! :clap:

Hehe, I hear you about the taxidermied pose! I think I may even be guilty of a few of those myself! :blush:

I do try to catch them doing things that are unique or interesting, though.

Well you definitely succeeded with this picture. I'd venture to say that this is one of the only pictures of its kind I've seen on dA.

Amazing action shot...so well timed! :wow: Very original shot too. He looks so powerful...his paws are huge and look at the muscle in that front leg!
