All is well

The lioness was probably first time mother, she was not very good at handling cubs. She tried lifting the cubs one by one (there were three of them) but didn't succeed. They all resisted her. I was trying to capture their reaction but got this innocent look. As if saying, don't worry, all is well.
This is full frame shot.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views !
Canon 7D; 500mm; ISO 400; 1/250 sec. at F 7.1.

This is a cracking image, Jagdeep! Love the clarity and soft light, and the priceless "Oh no!" expression on the cub's face :biggrin:

Wonderful close-up Jagdeep, and thanks for the info, which adds even more interest!

The detail, eye-contact on both, and the cub's expression are an absolute delight to look at, very well done :^)

Really nice Jagdeep.
The expression and the eyes are outstanding and the sharpness and light only complements further to the image.

Cubs often don't like being picked up, and this guy looks and feels he is big enough to handle life on his own! :smile:
