Lion Cub
One of the two cubs we shadowed, for once actual static in the dew laden grass, rather than the playful side. Some may wish more below, I'm OK with it as presented.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

Adorable little cub, Steve, awwwww
Frame looks awesome for ISO 10.000, no noise whatsoever and subject very sharp for 1/400s. Colours natural and reflect the lighting conditions.
There is a bunch of grass in front of the cub which helps with composition - those legs don't look cut off but softly disappear into the vegetation. Lovely pose from the little one - BTW, what was he looking at so intently?
Image beautifully and carefully processed with lots of detail. I quite like the presence of those tall grasses and glad you left them in, they give depth and authenticity to the frame.
Enjoyed this, very much. Wish I had your PP skillsI can manage a well exposed image with some decent techs but I am nowhere near your level when it comes to processing
Thank you so much for sharing, hope you have a wonderful evening Steve!
Warmest regards,

The fur in the head and face is beautifully rendered, composition looks fine to me, super colours - spot on for me.
Nice side-on pose here, Steve. Techs look great, especially the ISO and resulting IQ.
Good to get a clear view with all the twigs and long grass. Could the greens be enhanced a little more?
