The Explorers

[John Lowin]

These two adventurous lion cubs are exploring the bank of the Mara River, Kenya at sunrise. Their mother was keeping an eye on them from her near-by resting spot. Hope you like my image. C and C welcomed, I'm here to learn. - John

Adorable. What a find in nice light. I'm sure you'll be critiqued for the faces in the shadows, but sometimes it just happens that way and the soft light on the animal's rear and sides is lovely.

Nice image. I like the interest they are showing in the bottom of the image. Nice light as well. Perhaps just a little more room on the bottom.

Always great to capture any cub, or pup. Well done for not chopping off their tails, and a great sighting John.

[Robert Amoruso]

I would agree with Dan that including more at the bottom would be good since they are looking that way.

Good work capturing the moment, nice light and details.
