    Hi folks .... maybe too many lions at the moment , but i could not resist posting as i think too many images from Sanjeev .... LOL . Just kidding

    Got the good chance for this image in Botswana last year in the Khwai concession , we found this lioness with three cubs and no pride around for one day . We saw them in early morning and left them for lunch break , they did not move until the evening . Next day they where gone .


    Canon EOS 1Dx
    Ef 200 - 400 IS L at 386 mm
    Bean bag

    F 6,3 ; Iso 2000 ; 1/1600 sec ; man exp and Auto Iso

    Processed with DPP 4 and PSCC 2019 ; slightly cropped for comp . Wish i had upped the Iso slightly for more DOF .

    Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting .

    Cheers Andreas

    Andreas, so glad you posted this, don't know why it took you so long

    Composition is great and POV is superb, nice view of those little ones feeding. Colours look natural and some lovely textures in the fur.

    Techs look good, I do understand your desire for more DoF but for me not really an issue as the faces are sharp where it matters.

    Love the expression from both cubs, wonderful timing! Nicely dealt with relatively busy BG in processing. I would be very happy to have this in my folders Boetie, thank you so much for sharing!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Andreas -- A very special moment and a superbly framed image. It sometimes becomes difficult to frame such moments or have any sort of angle to do so, but you had that view and have framed it brilliantly. I liked the colours and those finer details are every bit there.
    Such a treat to watch .

    TFS !

    Hi Andreas, a lovely moment captured beautifully. The nipple and the 'look' from the second cub is just amazing. Nice, colours, details and techs.

    Excellent Andreas, processing and details look spot on, I'll dock 0.05% for the left cub's right ear not being quite in sharp focus.
