This a photo I took on the 22nd June 2011. I know that was the date because the EXIF data records the date of the photo.
I then manipulated the image and the first thing I did was to stretch the image vertically to overcome the flattening effect of the lens I used and the particular angle at which I had shot it.
I think the shape of the lioness’s head in the second image is more flattering to the animal, but I guess that is in the eye of the beholder, and the lioness may not agree.
