The first pic isn't cropped at all. The second "nose" one is cropped slightly but only to get rid of the wires that were encroaching - the original still has the same "in your face" feel to it :)

If you see that nose so close in real life, you know you've had it. :lol:

I know this is not a good picture but it is the best of the three I caught during the boy's brief scrap - they did not exactly give us time to focus and try and miss the bars ;)

I missed the scrap, too busy watching the dog behind me I think - story of the day :lol:

Up close and personal shots there :thumbs::thumbs:

Can anyone remember the other lioness's name. I can remember Masindi but not the other.

Close! It was Leah, I emailed Mark at WHF to thank him and his staff (especially Andy for taking us round) for a wonderful day and he is glad we enjoyed it :D

I have also posted a selection of shots from the day HERE (http://www.whitegoldimages.co.uk/WHFBigCats/), though some have suffered softening issues during jalbums shrinking :(
