    A lioness lying on a slight mound looking at her siblings play and run around in the morning light as if they were only cubs. It is so great to see how strong the bond between pride members is and to see them reinforcing this bond in a playful and affectionate way.Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa

    No words here bud. Picture perfect portrait in my books. Beautiful light, tones, expression and exposure.

    Hi Brendon, the warm colours and tones work extremely well here. Good call on the DOF. Although not viewing on a calibrated monitor, I just wonder if a % Luminosity mask may help? Overall a very nice portrait, with sympathetic, yet striking colours.

    Beautiful image Brendon. I like how the BG matches her eyes & some of the color around her mouth. TFS.
