What would you do? Really? Truly?

WWYD. Well, I wouldn’t be going near that tree! That’s for sure.

I took the lion photo in July 2005 at the open plains zoo near Dubbo in western NSW. About 400kms (about 250miles) from Sydney.

John, what a wonderful masterpiece ! Love the pair of lions basking in the sun and the natural framing of the overhanging branches! What would I do? -- give the pair respect and peace to relax in the sun, and admire nature at a safe distance ! fav

@beryl
A very safe distance!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Absolutely gorgeous

[Susan Wakely]

They look very much at home in this location.

[Mags]

Well done!

[Steve Chappell]

Fantastic capture!

[Harry J Benson]

I wouldn't be getting out of the vehicle. — A Happy & Healthy New Year to you and yours

[Joan Robillard]

Thanks for the much appreciated comments.

[Wendy Stout]

Fabulous capture… magnificent creatures but I’d be keeping my distance hope you had a long lens 🤣🤣

[Olwynne]

Incredible capture. So nice to see uncaged animals

[Bill Davidson]

I’d make sure the car doors were locked!

[Diana]

Fabulous capture and scene with lovely light, I doubt it would be so green where they live though ;-)

[Bucktree]

Terrific capture and composition.

[Joy's Focus]

Love this!

[Krista Mae]

Amazing shot! Nice to hear there are open plains Zoos to enjoy creatures in a more natural habitat. I'm with you. Don't get too close!

[Agnes]

Awesome

[Beverley]

Oh my gosh… what a phenomenal capture… LOVE IT!

[Phil Howcroft]

Happy New Year John

[haskar]

A wonderful capture.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Awesome shot

[Kathy]

This is really well put together.

[Julie Ryan]

Awesome shot! I would stay away for sure.

[Delwyn Barnett]

I love your interpretation! Nice one.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great idea! I think these two would be quite peaceful. Relaxing in the shade of a big tree is always calming.

[LManning (Laura)]

Great job!

[Rick]

Sure wouldn't be going close to that tree. Great shot.

[Cathy]

Fabulous light, composition and subject matter!
