Lions on Buffalo carcass from Micro Light

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Lions on Buffalo carcass from Micro Light

Taken from a Micro Light whilst on a flight over the Sth Luangwa River- Zambia.
Whilst not the sharpest image, I quite like the composition and the fact that I got their attention.

Cheers

If you did get down there, this is one of the times where they wouldn't be interested in you, check the size of their bellies :lol:

Gee they blend in. It took me while to realise that it was Mum with TWO cubs.
Composition is great, but as you said shame about the focus :(

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I think this is a time where VR on the 17-55 would have really helped with the engine vibration.
Here's what she looks like

And a nice shot of a Hippo pod looking like bacteria thru a microscope! :D

I love the hippo shot. It is a very different perspective to what you normally see.

Marc, oh so close! If that image was sharp it would be a true classic! It must have been sensational to see that as you were flying around.
