    Default Young lions

    An old shot from Etosha NP, Namibia. This was shot on an overcast early morning, in very dim light; I'm surprised I got any sharpness at all. The poor light gives it such a monotone feel that I often wonder if a B&W conversion is in order.

    Don't ask me why I used such a wide aperture; I guess I was trying to get both animals in focus, and most of the time they weren't parallel. Long time ago though...

    Despite its technical limitations, this has proven quite popular as a large canvas print :D.

    Ignacio, good playful behaviour, and the front lion is asking you if you got the shot - what a pose with great eye contact. We often wonder how we got to our older settings.

    Nice moment captured. Love the look on the lead cubs face as well as the splayed paw. Wondering if you have tried boosting saturation and contrast at all. TFS

    Nice action. Really like the look the lion is giving you on the left.

    Hi Ignacio, I really liked the eye contact, the paw, and the flying dirt around their paws...adds to feeling of action. You did well to catch a moment there. I agree with the others re a little more contrast and saturation. cheers
