Description: A beautiful lioness surveys her territory

Story from behind the lens: The story is more about what is in front of the lens than behind it. From behind the lens, I had beautiful late afternoon lighting with storm clouds all around and all I needed was a subject.

Then Her Majesty appeared from behind the mound.

She looked absolutely beautiful standing there.

So regal. So proud. So powerful. So agile. So elegant. So much in command. So focussed. I almost wanted to bow to her.

I hope that I have managed to capture all of that in my image.
