A lioness walks in tall grass while looking towards the camera. She walks on the bottom left of the picture, moving from side to side, but her head is facing the camera. The grass is the same colour as her body, a kind of soft orange. At the very top of the photo, the grass merges into the blue sky, with a few bright green bushes.
I took the photo in February 2023 in the Masai Mara in Kenya, during one of my photography trips. This lioness was part of a large group, hunting together. She walked in an arc around the prey (a warthog) and the others came from the other side.
Shortly after this photo, she went more into the stealth position and a minute or so later they caught the warthog. Extraordinary and exciting to see!
