2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Male Lion, Masai Mara Preserve, East Africa, Kenya
Waking of the King

Species: Male Lion | Location: Masai Mara Preserve, East Africa, Kenya

On a trip to East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya, I was fortunate to photograph this incredible male lion just waking up from his nap! I wanted to get a good shot close-up of his face. He was a magnificent lion, and I wanted to capture the strength of him.
