Lioness in Grass

Managed to get a nice angle on this lioness. A few distracting elements but it still takes me back to the moment.

Superb, thanks for sharing shot info as well is helpful. I’m normally on about F6.3 for a shot like that, it looks like I could go wider on aperture

Thanks, yep I usually stick to f4 with this lens to isolate, but its very unforgiving you have to be spot on within a few inches with the closer subjects. I wasnt to concerned having lots of clear lion shots already, normally im at iso 400 so it looks like i was just playing dropped it down a bit to 200, hand holding the lens i had to keep it above 1/800 it a beast lol
