Menacing Fury

When a lioness looks at you, you cannot look away. Its her red-hot stare, those amber eyes piercing you and chilling your very core.

I came across this lioness on a very hot afternoon in Etosha. The waterhole was small and there were plenty of lions around. She was annoyed, with the vehicles, the heat, and the pesky flies around. But she was generous enough to give me a great shot!
