A great photographic morning when a pride of lions pops out of the long grass to come down and drink

Chitabe's amazing relaxed leopard population allows for many great photo opportunities.
The iconic Okavango image of a big male lion plowing through the flooded grasslands is on every wildlife photographer's wants list, but today was not to be.
When you have the privilege to operate in an area that has a high density of cheetah AND giraffe it is still an amazing moment when you can record cheetah with their prey, a baby giraffe.
I've often stated that light isn't everything when making an image, but sometimes, as in this image, light can enhance the image
High risk, high reward. It is better to work with an animal in marginal light doing something than work with an animal in plenty of light doing nothing (my proverb)
With most other predators when you see a posture like this you know the game is on and its serious- with lions, most of the time this is just a "lets give it a shot"
An image has to convey a message or information about the subject- it has to say more without using words.
The Okavango delta is a land of contrasts, its winter, its dry, its cool but the flood water is slowly trickling in and our lions are having to swim- great news for photography
