November 2024 - On The Hunt
About the Image(s)
On the Masai Mara, Kenya, we found a mother and 4 1yr old cubs sleeping under a tree in the middle of the day. We kept returning to the spot until about 5:00pm when we found them on the hunt. Here are the 4 cubs following their mom at a safe distance. The hunt by the mother was successful but unfortunately happened behind our vehicle, so we missed the main action.

Mervyn,
Capturing all four moving forward together in a line makes a good composition. Each cub is distinct but clearly age related. Four cubs for one female seems like a large family? It must keep her busy trying to feed them. Posted: 11/04/2024 00:09:53

Wow. This is quite something to get all four together. Great capture.
A bonus would be to have the smaller one (right) with its eyes open!
No suggestions - great as it is.

This is a great photo. The offset diagonal is great and engaging. I really like the facial expressions. The little one's face is very entertaining. Well done. Posted: 11/11/2024 03:40:44
Love this composition and I am amused by the little one. Looks like he has a real attitude! Kenya on my bucket list! Posted: 11/26/2024 14:15:21
Love the picture. A slight increase in exposure of the eyes of the 2nd cub from the right would help enhance the image.
To see all four at this stage of their development is quite unusual. Only about 5% of them make it to maturity. The one on the right may be from a new litter. Posted: 11/29/2024 12:34:01
