Great stop action in this one SG! Love the detail in the image and the long thin frame.. (16x9 ?) Really works great.

Good luck in the contest.. Looks like a winner to me!

You caught the action and froze it for all to see! If these cats could say ty I bet they would. Love the contrast between the blue in the water (probably a reflection of the sky?) and the green of the grass. Good luck in the contest!

I am so jealous. I have never seen a large cat in the wild. Of course, maybe I didn't really want to...lol.

Very well done. Clear and crisp. Good action on the splash.

Good luck and thank you for sharing.

Great action shot. The old saying of timing is everything plays out here. The high speed chase was captured cleanly. The early morning light is a bit strong on their coats but the opportunity is worth the results. Love to have been there.

This is a beautiful shot of the lionesses in the water! The stop action is great! The focus is very good! The lighting and colors are very nice! The one thing that kept this from being a 6 for me is that the back of the one lioness is cut off and there is a very tight space in the front. I know that is something very hard to avoid... Overall great job and a pleasure to view! Good luck in the contest! Lori

This is perfect for the contest, and sure to be the winner. I don't know how you captured this amazing action, but it is full of excitement, and actions. The focus is glorious, and the colors are terrific. Great job.

Comment from photoman12
This is a good contest entry. Lots of motion in the cats. Water spraying. Is this a panorama that has a few photos stitched together. Or is it a very wide angle lens. Or does your camera have a panorama setting. The reason I ask is I would like to see more of the area that the cats are in.

Comment from momentsofjoy7351
Very nice stop action on the snap. The colors are vibrant and natural, just as it should be on a nature shot. The focus solid with fine detail and clarity over the frame. I hope you did not crop right - too tight against the lion's head, the first thought in my head was poor thing is gonna hit the side of the frame! LOL Need negative space right for movement. Techs solid, well done. Thanks for sharing and good luck.
