I guess they should be left alone like sleeping dogs. Nice shot, Sandrine.

nice timing on this one, Sandrine. love the lion's expression here. i have seen a lot of pictures of lions before but seeing the beast in its snoozing moment is simply refreshing. there's this urge to pet him, at least at this stage. love the texture of his fur, kinda feel warm and real for awhile.

Excellent clarity, light and framing of an incredible creature. It looks like it could be a poster.

I love what you have captured here. Even the King of the Jungle needs some rest.

What a beautiful animal. His pose here gives no indication at all of his tremendous power.
