The climactic moment. All muscles at high tension. All intent on the prey ahead. Motion is powerful and fast. The might of the lion is a fearsome and an awesome beauty to behold. Technique is a rhythm of hard vs. lost edges; detail in the lights vs. empty shadow shapes; focus on the turning of form vs. suggestion of form in the speed of movement.
