The soft morning light reflects on the carpet of bright yellow flowers and gives the young lion cub a golden glow. Fill-in flash to break the shadow.

Absolutely beautiful composition. Not only is a beautiful animal but the whole scene makes it a really nice photograph!

Hello Daniel,
Beautiful pic, I love de yellow flowers in the grass and the young lion. Maybe not perfect in focus but is still a great photo.

Hi Daniel
It is a lovely capture of this young cub still showing its spots. Something grabbed its attention or was it just appreciating the flowers?
Very nice composition and the colours are great. The DOF is good showing nice details and the exposure was very well handled, especially with the fill in flash that provided just sufficient light to fill in the lion.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Super shot! Great composition - I love the expression on its face!!
It amazes me how flowers spring up from nowhere in Botswana - even in the Central Kalahari as soon as there is a bit of rain everwhere starts to bloom!! :)
TFS
