African Lion and Cubs

Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia.

EOS10D, Sigma 100-300 F4 + 1.4TC, ISO 200, F8, 1/400.

For my final shot this week, I return to the Lion pride for this last look at protective dad and the two cubs. We could have spent much longer with this wonderful group, but they had the only small patch of shade in the near vicinity and we were frying in the midday heat in an open topped Landrover. Without a large tree for us to sit under, we reluctantly made our way back to camp and a welcome cool drink.

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Lovely family grouping and excellent handling of difficult light. It would be difficult for me to leave such a wonderful group too. Very well done! :D
