Did you find the key to the kitty nursery? Another great cub shot. The larger image shows lots of detail. With the conditions you had (1/125s), you captured a marvelous image. Well done.

How I missed this one I am not sure. What a wonderful portrait of this young Leopard. No problem with light in my opinion.

Hey Ken,
Very cute...again. The green foliage adds a nice bit of accent here and I like the inclusion of the "cave" in the backgound.
Cheers...

Doesn't get much cuter than this one Ken. Too bad about the light, but looks like you worked well with what you were given.

The light was good enough. This is really nice. Is it unusual to get them alone on the ground like this?

Thanks or the further comments, much appreciated
Pete mum is quite close at the bottom of the frame, I cropped out her area of interference.
