Bringing Home Breakfast

This female was returning to her cubs with a subtantial breakfast (a baby Thompson's Gazelle). She had the cubs hidden on a heavily vegetated rocky outcrop so we were unable to see them that day.

The sun angle was not in my favour

Taken in Central Serengeti, Tanzania.

You were in the right place at the right time. Amazing capture. The image seems a little flat. A little boost on the levels slider might remedy that.

Patricia,

Thanks very much for your comment. I see what you mean, perhaps my attemots to reduce the harshness of the light went a little too far devil
