Description: Lion on the move in the reserve just after sunrise

Story from behind the lens: We had just got into the reserve with the purpose of looking for serval & kittens when we saw three male lions moving quickly with topi scattering out of the way. It wasn't possible to photograph them together so I focused on the biggest of the males & made the most of the golden light in this backlit image to capture the beautiful drama of the scene.
