Mother tickling the baby.
One of the most cherished moments of childhood ... life is nothing, but a play with Mom, Masai Mara, Kenya.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

The innocense of childhood... wonderful, intimate portrait.
Once again, I appreciate the huge paws on the big cats..

What a nice and tender image. The only nit, IMHO is that the cub and mother are too center. If the picture were mine I will crop in a different way with more space towards the sides, if posible. Anyway it is a great image that I wouldn't mind to have in my gallery

Good job.

What a tender moment here Jagdeep! I quite like the framing here, though I am not normally a fan of square-ish crops.
I agree that mom is a tad softer. I believe f8 would have been enough, so perhaps it's motion blur?

That is so adorable ! Hats of for getting into position to get such a great perspective on this. Not as sharp considering your usual high standards, but the cute interaction makes up for it.

This is lovely Jagdeep! I don't think the sharpening issue mentioned is justified though, at least not without seeing the original file. wink:

Adorable - love the big paws and mom's pink tongue.

Thanks friends!
Sharpening settings applied are very mild here, just to go with the mood of the pictures, some emotions are very soft n tender.
