Undoubtedly one of the best wildlife shots I've seen in a long time. If this doesn't win something in the 'Animals in their environment' category of the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year (hint) then I'd be amazed.

Nice work Morkel, really a different type of wildlife image.

Question, this image appears to be compressed, what lens did you use and how far was the lion from the Eland.

Morkel Erasmus 6 months ago

Hi Gavin. In the EXIF panel on the right-hand side you will see I used a 500mm lens for this. I suppose there was about 15-20m between the lion and eland.
