Hi Marc -- Loving this sequence of images . Loved the light and the scene. Nice timing on capturing the female with her head raised and the cubs looking at her. Very nicely framed and lovely colours. Enjoyed viewing this , keep them coming.

TFS !

Great title. Really like the lion on the ground looking up at the others. I prefer this vertical over the horizontal you posted before. Nice one.

[Jay Shah]

Yes indeed imaginative title that adds to the experience of the image. Love the moment image depicts. Image seems soft-- may be there was not enough light in the scene for the details to show up.

[Marc Mol]

Many thanks Haseeb, John & Jay.

Jay, ISO9000 is not an issue for the D5, the image has plenty of detail, please remember I've not resharpened when downsizing to 1400px.

Hi Marc - Definitely a fun title and image. I like the vertical presentation and the timing of the cub on the trunk and the one looking up. I might reduce the reds on the tree if it were mine. Also watch the masking on the left side of the tree.

TFS,
Rachel

Many thanks Rachel

No masking was used here Rachel.

Hi Marc - What caused the brighter whitish/light blue areas along the trunk then?

Rachel

No idea, but to be honest I'm just not seeing anything here?

[Rachel Hollander]

Marc - I pointed to the general areas below. It's where the tree meets the sky.

[Marc Mol]

That's where I thought it could ONLY be, but I'm afraid that is natural light behind, not any halo/HL produced by any PP.
I know you're the "halo" queen Rachel , and you've caught me out on occasions, but feel you're barking up the wrong tree here, excuse the pun!
