[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Dear Friends

Some time ago I posted a number of lion images making up a little story. Since the photo quality was not all that good I stopped uploading lion images. I do however have one more that I really like and want to share with you. I hope you will like it and look past the flaws and the limitations of my camera aggravated by difficult lighting conditions at the time of taking this photo. For me the sentiment in this photo lies in the "moment" that I captured and I hope you will like it too.

My sincere thanks to Els (Hendrika) for encouraging me and helping me to improve the image quality. I therefore also want to dedicate this image to Els...just for old times sake to revive some memories for her from visiting Kruger park...
Hartlik dankie Els!!

The photo was enhanced by adjusting the brightness and contrast with the histogram in PSP X2 before I added a frame, signed and resized for TL

Wia, you have captured a tender moment here for sure. Nicely composed, and well presented.
Cheers,
Dianne

Baie dankie Wia!

Sometimes moments like this are much more important then super quality pictures, you have to work with what your camera can handle.
How precious this moment is, look at the care the mum displays towards her baby - it is lovely, and .. brings back sweet memories of a glorious time spend in the northern part of South Africa.

Hi Wia, I think more than anything the light was against you when you took the other shots, in this one though it worked for you. Nicely composed and a good natural shot with just enough PP work,
David

Hello Wia,
Great capture of a decisive moment of tender, very well phtographed and composed. The sharpness is great, the colours are very natural, and the light is superb.
Congrats, mb

Hi Wia

I'm glad you posted the photos of the lions, maybe the quality wasnt perfect but all the shots are unique and un-repeatable :)
This capture is excellent.

Hello Wia,

I have to agree with you about the context of this shot. It is motherly love at its most gentle, even in these large preators! This capture does not rely on superb image quality to deliver the message, and there can be no grumbles whatsoever about the composition.
I really do like it!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
