The teacher, the kid, and the hungry lioness
I recently found this image in my archive. Most people who look at this picture are convinced it has been manipulated, and yes, the saturation levels have obviously been changed, but that’s all! I think I’ll post the original colour pic some time to compare it with this one.
This is one of my favourite pictures. It was taken at Pumba Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape whilst I was documenting a school outing to the game reserves’ lion enclosure.
At one stage I noticed this teacher holding one of her schoolkids, standing in front of the lion enclosure, and a lioness standing behind her - very still and focused (hungry?). The teacher didn’t really know if she should smile into the camera or escape the close proximity of the lioness - hence the slight nervous look in her eyes.
