A Lion cub playing with his sibling and mother. For a split second he sat on her giving us a fantastic opportunity. These felines are part of the Off-Beat Pride in Mara North Conservancy in Kenya .

Magical capture - the warm tones on the lions mixed with the cool greens create a beautiful balance

A very serene scene and the one cub on top provides some personality also. The exposure is perfect and I love the complimentary colors. Very nice, Mario!

Very cute, Mario. Very nice catch light in the eyes. Also like the one eye of the other cub.

Cheers,

Hisham.
