Great timing on this Fred ;)
You even have flies in flight around her.
Fine stop action, sharp focus and fine exposure.
Great look at those razor sharp teeth!

Lol, that's a pretty wicked smile! I like the expression you captured and the nice amount of detail that shows of this gal's face - and teeth. I think you must have had a great trip :)

This is a pretty cool photo and I love the creativity of your title. The photo appears slightly blurred, but yet captures the ferociousness of the lioness. Great capture.

Great, because this is truly a very beautiful photo...

I don't believe that. This smile looks dangerous to me and reminds me of the spider saying "Come into my Parlor". The photo is well composed and adequately framed. The colors appear realistic.

Comment from Charlie Newman
I know that look well as I have crossed the imaginary line defining an animals territory. This photo captures the moment and the warning very well. It sends a warning to the viewer as though the viewer was in the moment. Very good camera techniques all around.

Love this photo. It's message is clear I'm the boss so don't bother me. You can hear her growl also. The picture is very clear with natural colors. I like the cropping also.

Fred,
A fantastic close up of this young Lioness showing off her perfect dentition & her "Smile" as she warns you to come NO closer. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera technique & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
:):) She must be having a hearty laugh at the frail humans going around in strange contraptions! Fine shot of wild life! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from michiganmike
She does not seem to be in a welcoming mood. A great toothsome smile she is flashing. Nicely composed with great detail in the lioness and excellent colors.
