Description: Headshot of a lion

Story from behind the lens: During an early morning game drive, we came across this handsome male lion lying on the grass just beside the road. When we arrived, he got his head up and looked right at me allowing me to get this beautiful headshot of him. There's something special about a lion looking right at you, it definitely got my adrenaline going.
