Hi Marc .. very sweet capture , they are looking so adorable on the shrub and at least as viewed quite confident and relaxed .
Nice deep saturated colors in the tree and the subjects ... as a good contrast the subtle blue sky . Nicely done .
If this was mine I would have tried to move the crop to the right , if you have it ???!!! As the cubs are looking more to the right side of the frame . But you might have a reason for the chosen crop ....
Nice to see the little buggers

Very cute indeed and I can just imagine the tension with the two prides clashing, those little ones look a bit lost and fearful... you have managed to capture lots of emotion.
Andreas already covered the composition issue and I tend to agree with his observations. Seeing we use the same gear I am certain you could have safely gone to ISO 10.000 - consequently the subjects would have been much sharper and it's so easy nowadays to deal with a bit of noise in PP.
Nevertheless, loved the pose and scene altogether and relieved to learn from your intro that the little ones were reunited with their mother - thank you so much for sharing!
Kind regards,

Thanks Andreas.
A large FG distracting bush was on the right, so no more room there unfortunately.

Kind regards,
Thanks Gabriela.
I certainly pushed the ISO to 12800 granting me f/4 and the DOF variation and sharpness across the pair made consequently zero difference, hence my preference for the lower ISO with this submission.
This was taken @ 6.27am in pre dawn light with sunrise still another 25 mins away, so even for the Z9, it has it's limits.
