    Default Sisterly love.

    It's not too often you get to witness close bonding between siblings.
    With these two 5 month old Kalahari Leopard cubs I managed to grab a tender moment between them.
    The trickiest part was getting a clear view with all the yellow grass and thorn scrub.

    C & C most welcome.

    Cheers
    Marc

    Great interaction Marc, got both faces clear and free of mayor merges. I like it a lot as presented

    ... if you sit one them are they likely to move about or just sit there like a house cat all day?

    Great interaction here. Busy FG & BG but that seems to be the norm for leopards... At least the faces are open. A bit more color saturation may help...

    Awwwwww, very sweet. Greaet interaction. If this were mi picture, I'd darken the whole borders to keep the attention on the girls. The light borders pull the eyes away.

    Agree with you Fabs, here's a resubmission with the BG lighting reduced and I also increased the saturation a touch on the 2 cubs.
    Let me know what you think?
