We were very lucky to see these cubs, they came out of the den for just about 5 minutes, and the light was food.

I wouldn't normally think of a hyaena as cute, but this one is. Great light and a killer low pov certainly works for me. A very minor nit is the way the cub's left ear coloration merges with the background. A little bit of increased contrast or sharpening on that ear might make it stand out nearly as well as the other ear. Hey, I said it was a minor nit! Awesome photo Ken.

I consider it a bonus when we can photo the young, so congratulations. The color in the small rocks adds a bit to the photo.

I find it funny that my response was almost exactly the SAME as Gary's, before reading his comments. Good posting!
