Rarely do I get frustrated about getting/achieving a particular shot, but as a few of you know, a pride of cubs for four days gave me the run around until the last day where upon they gave me what I wanted IMHO. This is one of them, other images have already been posted a while back on here. I just wanted an image that possibly had other qualities within it. Perhaps I just am/got too close and this may not convey some of the points I wanted to illustrate, I'm not sure?
Nothing has been blurred it's all in camera, the only thing I have done is remove a green stem from the branch over the paw that was running under the left eye as you view it. Not a great lover of the OOF mound to the rhc, but sadly not even I can move that.That's nature for you, but to move position would have disturbed the pride.
