lovely light here Vivaldo. I like how it hits momma's eyes, and the difference in colour between momma's eyes and the cub's eyes.

do you have any with less space on RHS and more on LHS? 2 of the 3 lions are looking left, so I feel it needs some space on that side to balance the composition a bit more.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Morkel tried a more central composition, I like it tx.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Awesome stuff Vivaldo...the textures and colors are special, great low angle...I prefer the second crop

[Morkel Erasmus]

works much better indeed! now the lioness' head is on a very strong point compositionally (might even shave a tad off the RHS still)

[Hilary Hann]

Would agree with Morkel's comments here. The repost works well and I love the eyes and the strong compositional lines you've managed. Well done.

Vivaldo,

A true beauty here, the repost works better, but I would be happy with either.

The mud on the chin of the cub really adds to this.

Beauty of an image !! Great light and eye contact !!

[Stu Bowie]

Great repost Vivaldo, and just love the colours in this. The cub with a mouth full of mud puts this over the top.

I like the triangle formed by the lioness and how close they're grouped together. Light, color, and detail all look very good.
