On a Selinda/Botswana assignment I was most fortunate to capture a very special moment showing 4 females and 1 cub from the Wapuka pride coming down to drink. In attempting to capture the reflective atmosphere and avoid 'just another sunset' image, I flipped the shot to show the animals the right way up, creating an intriguing scene.
Lion reflections/silhouettes in water are certainly nothing new, however to have all five with clear separation was just a dream come true! Being ultra picky, I would have loved the head of leading lioness clear, but the phrase....never look a gift horse in the mouth comes to mind.
I've been very fortunate to have some commercial success with numerous magazine and newspaper publications, finalist in BBC WPOTY and Nature's Best with this image also taking out 3rd place in the Mammals category in Europe's Oasis Nature Competition recently with over 22000 entries from 62 countries, so truly an honour!
