    A young female playfully pounces on one of the older lionesses of the pride in some great early morning light. This type of interaction is not only play but also an important learning curve for young lions in order to perfect their hunting skills to one day help sustain the pride.

    Hi Brendon - nice dof and sharpness. The comp looks good too. Always nice to see the big cats playing.

    You just can't beat a sighting like this in light like this.
    If anything I'd like a sliver more space below...but certainly wouldn't mind this in my portfolio as is...

    Lovely image Brendon, agree again with Morkel, if you have the space, I would just drop the whole crop down a fraction. The disturbed dust by the front paw is a nice touch.

    Thanks very much all for your great comments, unfortunately this is full frame and indeed i would also like a little more space at the bottom, i may look at adding a little canvas..

    Beautiful light and a nice playful image you captured. I really like how the bottom cat seems to be ignoring the one on top.
