The Metro newspaper ran an incredible story this week about a lioness fighting a crocodile in Botswanna's Okavango Delta so that her cubs could cross the river safely. The image was shot by Ms Dierickx, 48, from Antwerp, Belgium and published in the paper on 24 July 2012. The lioness escaped a crocodile roll because she kept the crocodile's mouth closed with her front legs. Apart from the fact that this is an amazing act of courage by the lioness this is also an incredible image. This was one of three photos taken in one second and is beautifully composed with excellent clarity, frozen water and perfect tones and hues, with the colours of the landscape reflected in the animals.
Wish I'd taken this!
