I was photographing playing lion cubs at dusk when they all of a sudden lay down in the tall grass only still showing their ears - focusing on the ears with shallow depth of field was a dreamy image I wanted to achieve.
Photo taken in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Kenya.

Interesting. Unmistakeable sets of ears, too.

Interesting shot - I like it. I would personally have liked a little more depth of field to get the left cub in sharper focus. I may also tone down that bright piece of grass in the background.

Happy to see you posting again Ingrid :^) As always, I greatly appreciate your creative approach to wildlife photography and I love the way this latest picture of yours sparks my imagination, letting it run wild with all kinds of possibilities of what could be going on, what's been happening, and what might occur in the subject's lives next.

I think this would also work well in sepia. Nicely done and thanks for sharing :^)
