Playful Youngsters

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Another contribution to the months theme. The two young lions were enjoying hanging around the mother. I did reduce the magentas & blues.

Hi Sanjeev, colour looks much better and I like the playful antics captured. Bit unfortunate about the vertical tail of the rear cub. Good call on a faster SS with Mum moving and the boisterous cub.

Hi Sanjeev - Fun interaction, well captured. I am viewing on my laptop but to me the soil still looks a little red from what I remember of the Mara. You handled the mixed light well. Nice one.

Nice light with a good interaction between the lions.

Hi Sanjeev -- Indeed a fun image , Lion cubs are boisterous and you have nicely captured the interaction , well timed, nice colours as well . I am 50-50 on the vertical tail . Nicely done .

TFS !

Hi Sanjeev a funny looking image ..for me , well from the POV of behavior
Lovely soft light , wish i had some of that on Helgoland ,color and tone looking very nice and you have plenty of detail .Because of the different movements of the subjects , this frame does have a nice 3D feeling .
Well timed Sanjeev .The tail facing upwards is a bit unfortunate , but what will you do ....i think it should stay .

Hello Sanjeev,

Just catching up on a few frames I have missed, sorry to comment so late

I think this is gorgeous - love the action! From what I see the vertical tail belongs to mom and is congruent with her moving forward, so not an issue to me. Nice techs and PP work looks good (detail and sharpness all there in good measure).

Wonderful sighting and you were quick to capture some fun interaction, nice framing too, great work in the field Sanjeev!

Kind regards,
