I made a New Year resolution to start editing more images, so I have gone back through the old catalogue and got processing. A new multisync has given me a new incentive too.

Botswana is a incredible destination and the place I always seem to find myself returning year after year. These were taken in 2007,2008 & 2010, through both the rainy and dry season :)

Need to select about 2/3 three images from this selection for a small presentation I am giving, which do you think I should use?

Excellent shots in beautiful light Russell. (y)
 
Love them all but 1 and 5 stand out to me as the best
 
I would like to single some out but to me they are ALL fantastic. Well done (envy).

:)
 
Top shots - any would be tops for your presentation - just depends what you want to focus on.
 
No. 6 is the typical postcard photo, shame he has an injury to his back leg though.

Great set of images, 2 5 6 9 are the best in my opinion. How hard did you find to approach / find the lions and stay on the safe side?

Thanks Daugirdas.

These lions are habituated to vehicles, so approaching them is not really an issue. They normally ignore you 95% of the time.

Most of these were taken in Botswana's private concession, so you can off-road and get into the perfect position, which really helps.
 
wow wow wow stunning shots, all seem perfect to me :)

Think #1 is the best, fantastic bokeh.

Has there been much PP

woops my mistake, didnt read the description, pics caught my eye instead :p

Great shots. Well done
 
They are all splendid! that looks a nasty scrape on the knee of your young fellow in #6

For me the look of sheer hedonistic joy in the attitude of the mature fella in #1 really appeals to me. It illustrates the males life within the pride beautifully.

Keep editing...please! :D
