Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

5.48pm. +temp still hovering close to 40C! The activity was really ramping up now, as the no tail tip female the best & most experienced hunter of the pride led the way by climbing on the back of the first buffalo. At this stage there were 3 adult females and 4 sub adults in the thick of it. D3s 500VR 1/400s f/4 ISO6400 -cropped (top & bottom only) to pano.  We sat back and observed from a distance............. but now with heart/excitement level racing  I needed to be closer. D3s 500VR 1/400s f/4 ISO6400 -cropped (top & bottom only) to pano.  5.56pm. Having finally positioned our vehicle closer as the action now started to spread to the river section making for some exciting water chase/dance routine sequences.

Marc
This is a great series of images made stronger by your narrayive (thanks for that).
#2 here is an absolute pearler and conveys so much of the drama of the hunt.

Another great series Marc. The one I really like here is the third one with the one to one confrontation. Also shows to what lengths the lions will go to in order to get their meal. A male buffalo is a tough animal to take down, even for a large pride of lions.
cheers,
André

Very true Andre, especially knowing that this pride took on not one, but a pair of tough bulls! And have become well known for this activity at this particular time of year, when the overall condition of general game isn't great.

Thanks Chris The first two from here were cropped top & bottom, and the last two were pretty much F/F. D4|D3S|D700+MB-D10| 14-24 |24-70|70-200 f/2.8 VRII|70-200 f/4 VR|80-400 AF-S|500VR|Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro|TC's 1.4,1.7E & 2.0III|SB 900
