Beautiful light, beautiful cat to go with it, I like the fur detail. Wondered about the BG lion, but decided I like it as it is presented. Thanks for sharing, Ken.

I liked this as posted , lovely lighting and IMHO OOF lion adds here
TFS

ps , forget to add , very expressive lion

[Marc Mol]

Lovely light here Ken with a nice pose by the cub, would have used more Gaussian on the BG, as the adult Lion is a little distracting.
BIG congratulations on the 1000 postings as well!

Wow! 1000 postings did you say! Beautiful cub and lovely golden light as well, but the other lion is a little distracting, Ken.

[Morkel Erasmus]

superb light and just love the stare you got. OOF lion works here to give context. congrats on 1000!

Like the light, low angle & eye contact.
