One of two very young cubs cubs we found virtually hidden in a bush in Tswalu, South Africa. Judging by the dark colour of the eyes they were between 2-3 months
Unfortunately virtually no light was available, and it was also a long way off.

It's still a very nice image, despite being a long way off. The eyes are very sharp in the enlargement.

Wonderful, precious, intimate, and adorable. Just the right touch in all of the right places. I really like the framing of the grasses and the enclosing BG with this Ken. Excellent.

Very cute kitty Ken! Well done in spite of the distance and low light.

A great shot. I'm just curious, didn't mommy try to encourage you to move off?

Kurt,
Thanks very much
Chris,
Mum was more concerned with other members of the pride coming close, she did not seem to bothered by our presence but then we gave them plenty of space
