It is really nice light, and a cute moment.
I think your DOF was too shallow, hence the cub and mom seem slightly soft where it matters (it could also be as a result of your processing).
I would crop some off the top.

[John Mack]

Nice moment you have captured here. Like the sweet light and the composition.

[Jay Shah]

Certainly very good quality and qty of light (judging from ISO). Very cute moment. Though BG is busy, somehow is not distracting but providing nice context.

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi Gio - Is this a large crop? Agree with Morkel on the sharpness and the overall detail/quality also looks off. Beautiful light though.

TFS,
Rachel

Great light and moment. Agree with above comments. I would add more below and take some off the top.

Hello Giovanni,

Wonderful tender moment you have captured here and the light is so sweet.

I would like to ask the same question as Rachel: is this a big crop? And do you think F4 was enough? Just trying to understand why the subjects seem unsharp (especially lioness) when you have such good shutter speed.

Frame too tight at the bottom, I gather you had to crop because of the green vegetation? I really love the pose from mom and cub but sadly the composition does not do justice to this beautiful scene.

Thank you for sharing Gio - much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Hello Gabriela
you are right I have a lot of green vegetation in front.
I used f.4 to avoid to have iso too much hight ..but off course it wasn't enough.
It is no a big crop
Could be a no right pp..but I am no sure. I could make again it
