The Warning

This was shot on our last Kenya tour around sunrise. We found a prideof lions with three cubs when it was still dark, and decided to stayand wait to see what would happen. Usually, when there are younganimals around, it's worth to be patient because often things will happen.

Here one of the most playful cubs was irritating it's mom - shesuddenly got up and made a move towards the cub. Nothing much, but itwas enough for the cub to quickly take a few small steps backwards. Ilike the 'I won't do it again mom!' look.

So crisp details on the young lion, so well captured moment, so nice dust and overall composition in one color! Great, great indeed!

Great action shot, Marsel.   Love the expression on the cub.  IMO not being able to see the mother's face adds to the shot.  Let's us imagine what her expression might be.  I am a big fan of your work.  This is another example of why.

The exposition on the young lion's eye is simply perfect.

Great shot, congrats!!
