Relaxing in bright sunlight, a lion soaks up the warmth.
Life is tough for the Queen of the jungle (although it should be pointed out that lions normally live on a savannah, rather than in a jungleā¦)
This image shot with the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM on a Sony A7R IV, at ISO 6400 f/8 1/8000 (by mistake - that will teach me to check my ISO before shooting). Some processing was required to recover the image before it was cropped to crop it from the full frame.
