17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
From the Frying Pan into the Fire

This lioness was injured in a territorial battle and came out of the bush to escape her adversary only to find that she had to then escape the 15 odd safari vehicles that crowded in on her for a photograph. I thought it interesting that people will hang out of every window just for the shot regardless of the stress caused to the animal. Imho only long lens (400mm+) should be allowed.
