Hi Harshad,
I really like the attentive poses and the placement of the lions in the frame. I love the oversized paws on the cub. Excellent IQ.
I wish for slightly warmer light - looks like the sun was behind a cloud or an overcast day.
I would clone out the white spot in BG at top above cubs tail.

Like the juxtapose of the subjects here Harshad, certainly being slightly overcast has helped the whites. The cub looks slightly over sharp compared to the lioness???? As both subjects are looking to camera you could lose some off the RHS to balance the image.

Hi Harshad,
like the comp,the colors,the contrast. have no idea what to make better.I would agree with Steve about the cub and sharpness.

Do all off the cubs look that funny.My feeling is the head does not fit on the rump or other way round.

Cheers Andreas

great double eye-contact here
I agree with Steve on shaving some off the RHS
TFS!

Harshad - nice dof and colors look good. The cub does look like he's going to be a big one. Good suggestions above for improving an already nice image.

TFS,

Harshad,

Very interesting pose here, not often you see such an interesting "line up":cheers:

Colors look great and I would like to see some off the right as well and then add a touch to the left. Nice they are both looking in your direction.
