Very nice Ken. I love the look the lion on the left is giving you. I also like the reflection. If only the guy on the right had moved his head to the right a bit. What is the environment here? It looks like a road the way it trails off to the right.

Boy is the cat on the left giving you the evil eye, while his playmate is hiding behind for protection. Besides being technically sound, this image tells quite a story. Well done.

A great sighting and photogricaly well done. Nothing to add from a tech standpoint. It appears to be me that the cub on the left might have recently ate or perhaps it is just his positioning? Any sign of the mother? Their expressions speak to us and we thank you for that!

Great reflections, Ken. If you have the space, I would put it back in on the left and maybe a touch more on top...just to keep it from feeling crowded.

I like the fact that you managed to get great eye contact. The reflection is good too. I would prefer to see more space on the left.
