I just can't wait to be King

By kats_dad
Taken on an early morning game drive. This young cub was all up for exploring and playing whilst his parents just wanted to rest.

Thanks for looking

Ian

Opportunity missed, I feel, as it is a bit blur. Still, good shot.

Great framing and superb colour. From my shots of the big five in Kenya, I noticed that colour is often drained out of the shots by harsh sunlight.
Nice one. Well done.

WOW Ian, this is fantastic! The light is really beautiful (probably because it was early a.m.), it is well exposed, the composition is spot on and overall it is a piece of work you can be very proud of! Love it! Well done!

Lovley capture, the colours are good for that time of day, well sorted.
Was it as cold as the Maria this year?
Nice one...

It was very cold on the Mara on the morning drives, we needed loads of layers and the blankets they provided. Tsavo however was fine. Thanks for the comment. Ian
