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
