One advantage of the Lions returning to the Northern part of the Kwando concession is the chance to see cubs. I have not taken a cub image there for about 8 years! (Plenty elsewheresad)
EOS 1DX
200-400 mm F4 at 490 mm
F10 
ISO 400
1/800
Hopefully the DOF experiment worked?

Sweet shot, Ken! Everything looks good to me and you captured a handsome young lion in a pleasing pose with a nice expression that left me wondering what it was thinking at the moment of capture.

Thanks Nate and Johndevil
I can guess as to what the cub was thinking, hopefully Mum and Dad will go and catch me some supper! In fact they tried and we followed, they got nothing before it got too dark to see.
