Wow you were able to get close. I love the second.

Cian,
That's not a cub. That's an adult lioness.

Here is one of my favorites. It was taken in Samburu National Park in Kenya.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.22.67/19.elephant-crossing.jpg[/img]
Whoops. I guess that was too big. I'll post a smaller one so you get the full picture.

Great photos! I love the first one and respect the second one! Certainly not backyard or backroad pictures.
I found this out in our shop this morning...
It was taken with a Hand-held 40D and a MPE-65mm f/16 1/60 sec ISO 500.
I really need to get a macro rail and the twin light macro flash !!!
