Description: A male lion rests on the charred plains whilst a raging fire billows out a curtain of smoke
Story from behind the lens: The fires were raging across the plains and I wanted to find an animal to pose in the foreground of the dramatic smoke-billowed sky. Luck would have it that a couple of male lions appeared out of nowhere. One sat out in the open on the crest of the ridge allowing for the shot I was searching for.
