Lion Cubs

Description

1/400th @ F6.3, ISO 200, Nikon D70, 70-300mm @ 210 mm.
Taken at the Ft Worth Zoo. This is a crop of the original picture where the cubs were standing close by their mother, but the mother was obscured somewhat by tree leaves. I really liked the lighting on the cubs themselves so I removed their mother who was standing behind them and darkened the background to put all the focus on the cubs themselves.

Exif: FNumber: 6.3, ExposureBiasValue: 0/6, ExposureTime: 0.0025, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 200, WhiteBalance: auto white balance
