Mum & Dad

What a great family shot, and an equally fine title.  Love the focus and the comp.  Very nice.

It works and a different perspective to the norm.

Hello Ingrid ... well done with nice selective focus, sharply detailed and excellent wide-eyed expression !

Thanks for sharing

Umm yeah...pretty special image here, Ingrid. Wonderful vision and decision-making in the field and perfect execution start to finish it seems. It's different, and I like it (in fact, I like it in and of itself and like that it IS different, so it gets double points from me). 

The angles of the faces and eyes could not have been better IMO, and good grief what were the chances all three would look in different directions yet still allow all 6 eyes to show for you? These kind of shots never happen by accident but you certainly had things work out nicely so you could use your skill to make the most of the opportunity. Really nicely done.

Hi Ingrid,

This one is really different and definitely breaks some "rules" - and I quite like it. I think what makes it work for me are two things - that the additional lions in the frame are REALLY out-of-focus (and thus the focus-contrast between them and the sharply focused subject is strong and the viewer's eye knows exactly where to go) and the fact that you caught the eyes of the "supporting" cast (so they are clearly other lions and "supporting actors" in the scene...not just OOF bits of what might or might be lions). Excellent "photographic thinking" in the field - a big thumbs up on that!

Thanks for sharing this one - great addition to the gallery!

Cheers...

This is great, Ingrid! I like how mom and dad seem to be ignoring the photographer whereas the cub seems curious/worried and peeking from behind mom. It tells a story about the family dynamic. Love it!

Cheers,
