The King of Beasts looked up to the heavens. The most powerful in the jungle. The Tyrant of the Savannah, The Prince of the Pride.

So why, why did he have to put up with all the nagging from HER. "I do all the hunting, cooking, cleaning, raise the cubs, patrol the grounds, yadda yadda yadda." How he wished she would just shut up!

King indeed, and there were FIVE of them.

Not for the first time, he wished he had been born a Hyena.

The sepia tones help cement this into my top ten.
Nice image and nicely processed.

Such a beautiful image....really think a color version would've been so much more powerful!

Maybe what I should do is just keep hitting the ten selection and just give up commenting. :>)

Wow - this is very realistic, incredibly detailed, subtle variation and hints of very slight color, excellent composition - damn, this is good. Another Top Ten contender for sure.
