This must be one of my favorite photos. I was on a game drive at Pumba Game Reserve and sitting in the front seat next to the game ranger. We found this male lion (seemingly) sleeping at sunset. We pulled up to him about 6 meters away and the ranger switched the engine off. As he did that the lion opened his one eye to let us know that he knows we were there. Sitting in the front seat meant that I was much lower than if I had been on the back seats and this allowed me to take this pic.I’m watching you

Fantastic photo! A magnificent beast, altho I find his baleful stare somewhat intimidating.
