Very cute image, Mario, and the sky looks fabulous! Looks like a young male?

Mario, I like the pose & the upward angle in this. The eye contact is a bonus as well.

Hi Mario,

Quite a cute pose - quite like the eyes and it's always nice to see totally relaxed subjects (that are obviously not stressed by the photographer). I like how you've "grounded" the cub in the lower portion of the frame - works well for me.

Thanks for sharing this one...

Brad

PS: Not sure if you know this, but there is a forum dedicated to workshop listings - it might be worth your while to list your safari there...

the eye contact is a plus. I like the vigilant-relaxed pose. I also like the composition choice.
