Lioness and her cub

[Danny Laredo]

I just got back from Africa this morning, but this image since the moment I took it, really stuck out for me.
We found a pride of lions just having a rest (which is what they do most of the time) but this cub wanted to play and get some attention as he went from lioness to lioness and to other cubs in a not to successful attempt to get his much desired attention.

Lovely tender moment, well portrayed Danny. Where exactly did you go?
Look forward to more.

I like the 3D look of the lions Danny. Two suggestions on the BG. In the LL are some grass stalks intruding into the edge - I would clone them out. I also suggest desaturating the green in the background. It detracts from the lions.

Thanks for posting.

Well spotted and captured moment, Danny. Agree on the comments above. Like the sharpness & fur detail in addition to the lovely pose.

A nice intimate moment, but the 'nits' have been addressed above already.

Great interaction between the two. Nice color as well.
