He just would not turn around

and kept staring out into space. We were quite high up and I suppose the valley below was more interesting.

What a beautiful creature, were you on a safari?

[Taffy]

Wow -- you were able to get such a great capture of his beautiful mane!

[Desi]

Still a lovely shot! of this magnificent creature

[Kat]

Wow, majestic capture.

[Kathy A]

He's probably sick of having his photo taken

[Valerie Chesney]

Love it! He can do whatever he likes.. ha-ha

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Cats are like that, no matter what size!

[Margo]

Well fed!!

[Susan Wakely]

Maybe this was his best side.

[Tracy Bousfield]

Camera shy!!!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Very regal !

[Tracy Bousfield]

Mind you i would have run if he had turned around!!!

[Anne ❀]

So majestic!

[Gosia]

Well, he showed you his profile at least.

[Esther Rosenberg]

lol, An incredible animal.

[Julie Ryan]

Just like a typical cat, ignoring you! Pretty shot!

[katy]

He looks like he might be seeing, hearing or smelling something! Either that or he was just being ornery!

[Allison Maltese]

Well, I'm glad he set his sights on something other than you, unless he was fenced in and far away.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful capture.

[JackieR]

never work with lions and other animals

[CC Folk]

He doesn't have too...he is king! :)

Makes me wonder what he was so interested in.

[sheri]

Looks majestic from this angle too.

[Rick]

What a shame. Would have been so cool to have it turn around. Still a great shot.
