    Sweet image. I'd prefer a bit more DoF to have the cubs in sharper focus, but it looks like one is in front of the mum and one behind, so that may have spoiled the background softness too much. Separation of the cats is great, a big fan of tails, so the mum's tail and the tip of the tail in the one on the right are great, by comparison the one on the left is meh... But I like that the one on the right has his ear on you.

    Killer shot - light, posture, composition, sharpness are all on the money. In a perfect world it would have been even more over the top if the second cub also gave you a stare

    Hello Marc,

    Lovely frame, Mom and cubs cooperated and the pose from all three is great!

    Beautiful colours too, light is gorgeous. I would like a bit more space on the RHS and at the bottom, if you have it. Nice 3D feel to this image and the scene is superb.

    Hope you bring some stunners from Uganda, looking forward to your images when you return! Thank you so much for sharing,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
