Comment from avmurray
This indeed a beautiful photo of a Lioness and her baby, which is not really a baby any more. The two of them look so relaxed, and are standing out so well against the colors of Africa.

Your photo of them is sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in both animals. It is lovely the way the light is falling on them, and the exposure is just perfect.

I also like very much the cropping to panorama and how well the lions are placed within the frame. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF. This is a 6 stars shot Fred, but I am afraid I have run out.

This is a stunning shot of the lioness and her favorite baby. I enjoyed reading your artists notes and storytelling with your image. Superb eye clarity and good initial impact. Your focus, colors, lighting, and clarity are excellent. This is very nice work and thanks these wonderful scenes from South Africa.

This is a wonderful shot of the wild life. Looks like they have had a good meal! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A beautiful shot that shows the strong family ties that hold true even as the young lose reliance on their parents. I like the sparse vegetation and the great detail in their faces.

Well, some kids need that reassuring mummy presence more than others! Like your central composition which grants us a good sense of place. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Nicely taken!
