Lion Cub Reflection

Uploaded: November 21, 2009

Description

We had been at this location the day before and I asked the driver to stop by this small puddle, hoping a lion would come for a drink. We were pleasantly surprised when three lion cubs stopped at once for a drink. The reflection is enhanced in Photoshop.

Did you use a FlamingPear Flood plug-in to enhance the reflection in the water?
To me, it looks like there is a narrow area of water, and a reflection ... like the Flood plug-in may have been used. #1274860

Yes, this was done with flood. There was a pool of water but it was fairly small so I made it larger. #8662433
