Troublemak3r by busi2ness

Thank you for the unexpected reaction to "An African day is done":
Back to the lions of Bona Bona. There are three young males together and the one has the scars of being a troublemaker. I was told they had a brawl over food and he was injured but his will to survive pulled him through and he is as dominant as ever. To me that is boldness and courage despite his awkward "smile" kept as a reminder of his courage. His name in Afrikaans is "skewebek" or scewed mouth. See if you can spot the troublemaker and also his scars on the close ups.
Next Sunday I may show some of the other Renderosity members around on the lion farm. I am really looking forward to that.
I hope you all have a super week ahead!

An excellent composition!I love the pov you achieved in the pictures, they have a clear view of the details! You have to wonder, was he being brave, or just too macho? Bravo Piet!!!

I just love the expression on the face of the lion on the right in the top photo!! This is a lovely collage of my favourite animals. Thanks for cheering me up on a cold and wet winter's day here in the UK.

Great picture. Even in the group shot you can pick him out. I always have a sneaking liking for the non-comformist [I was - am - always contemptuous of peer pressure] Good for him! I say - and good for you for this most excellent celebration of his courage and independence. Mike

Incredible collage, Oom!!! I cannot imagine that I could ever be in such close proximity with these magestic creatures. Hats off to you PTA... and to the strength of this lion to survive.. Have a great time with RR friend at Bona Bona. I wish I could be with you all. Now, I must go and sizzle "Oom Bears" steak ;-) Happy Hugs. Di Di.

Brilliant shots, wonderful close-ups...Cath xx

All great shots of these imposing felines! Wonderful colors and lighting. Exquisite beasts of nature, to be sure. And, Skewed mouth, with his bad attitude, is most apparent in these photos. His is a perfect expression for purposes of intimidation.
Joko-Style
