    Kicking off this months multiple animal/same species theme:

    5.50am and three very cute 10 week old cubs wait patiently for mum to return from her hunting session, it would be another 8 hours before she finally came to fetch them leading this trio to a warthog kill.

    After this cosy moment, they did spend quite a lot of that time in a small Acacia tree, .........a very wise move.

    Central Serengeti- TZ.

    Nice to see all the cubs in the open with good poses. The background is nice as well. All the cubs look nice and sharp.

    Love it!! What a cracker! Colours and details look ideal, the baby eyes are so appealing. I think the composition is great but if you have just a couple of mm to add to the LHS maybe even better?

    Beautiful arresting image - I agree that a sliver more space on the left will improve the image a little

    Very good composition Marc and great expression, I agree with slightly more space on the left. You did well to keep the sharpness on all the faces, given the aperture. Lovely frame.

    What a cute bunch of cubs, brings back the memories from a similar sighting that I had in Bots last year. Nice pose and framing , I like it as presented. The only thing I feel is that the image appears a bit dark to me , a slight in increase exp might do ? WDYT ?

    Lovely image nonetheless.

    TFS !

    Please remember Haseeb, this was captured @ 5.50am, the light was minimal and have already upped the exp slightly more than what I considered relevant for the time.

    Cute cubs, nice capture. I like transition of color in the background.
