Great you went wide open so you even have separation of the cub from the mother's chest, maybe pushed there also by the low light; Flies are great, very nice capture of a rare sighting.

Hi Doc -- I am in agreement with Gabriela , Like I mentioned in on your previous post a vertical frame would have been another option to try but can definitely understand the excitement for such a special sight. I too liked this one better and the lioness in the bkg is not an issue as it almost blends with surroundings.
A very special sighting and would love to see more from your trip.
TFS !

Hi Jon, thanks for the RP, this one works well compared to the OP.

I really like this one. The RP adds some nice depth and color. The flies are great in this. It really is as Jon mentions a mesmerizing frame. TFS

Hi Sanjeev .... top notch in terms of sighting .
Love the head on shot with the cub hanging there.....and mum looking straight into the viewer eyes !!! Brilliant !!!
I fully understand that you just took the shots .... regardless of not ideal framing .
I do agree with Steve about going portrait . Color and tones are sometimes matter of taste ... so i would skip that in this case .
Just wondering why you have such a great variation in your postings from the scene in terms of WB/ color ????
TFS Andreas

Steve I do have the full view which was shot on landscape mode, but there was a lioness next to it. Will post that frame soon. Well this all happened in like 5 to 7 seconds so really not much time to think and change gear in hand.

Andreas, I have some issues with the WB so am trying out the eyedropper tool to select a neutral grey area by looking at RGB values. Any tips on WB will be welcome.

Sanjeev, when did you last calibrate?????
For web presentation Sanjeev you can get away with it, but shooting in the correct format I just think is key and you save IQ, however there are always times where it's a fifty fifty, but here I would love to have scene the whole lioness carrying the cub, what a moment Sanjeev!

Sanjeev ....your RP is way away from your OP in terms of WB ... for sure a matter of taste .
Eyedropper for WB is only a starting point .... in my thinking . I normally never use it to set the WB ...just to check the values
In DPP i use the presets / or the temp slider and adjust accordingly the two tint sliders . And if i have images of the same scene .... i use the same values .

Sanjeev, purely on an 'educational' point, it might be worth firing off the Raw to Andreas where he can give you some bullet points in what he did so you can follow and build on your PP skills?
