These three brothers had just finished snacking on a very young impala....not really a fair fight nor a fair meal I would guess.... It was also not very fair light, but I can't walk away from scenes like this. :D

You did more than fine with that light. If I see no more than one of these cats in person in my life I will be fulfilled. You officially have my envy.

Nice arrangement of the three. The composition is interesting as well.
