The total atmosphere of this picture is warm and fuzzy even though in the picture it is snowing. I love how the lion cub is looking up and her brother just happens to be right behind her. The lion cub by the way is adorable. I give this picture a 4.5 because the vision is really nice but the now makes the tops of the male lions head a bit blurry. I give 4.5 stars for originality because even though I see a lot of lion pictures this one's pose is really original. I give 5 stars for technique. I give the impact 4.5 stars because it is a very good shot that gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

Welcome. I didn't know it was the fence, it didn't look like a fence, I just thought it was snow. You did very well on this so you should be proud of your self.

Thanks. Part of it is snow but the general blur was from a fence. I'm pretty good at editing the discoloration from the fences out but there isn't much you can do when the fence makes a certain area fuzzy looking.

Welcome. Well considering there was a fence in front of you and snow, you did a very good job on it.

I saw this lovely photo while viewingΒ , so decided to leave a comment here, too!
These two are just too much, aren't they?

I can see why! These two are the cutest brother/sister combo I've seen in a long time!

Haha, I'm not sure if I'd call Murphy shy... more like he seems to be the sibling that gets picked on the most.Β Coky tends to 'stalks' up on him while he is sleeping and whenever Murphy tries to lay with Donovan, he ends up Don's chew toy instead.

However, for our set-upon lion cub, each day with the sibs is another day at the office!

The one where a new father meets his cubs for the very first time, is so very adorable! Such a gentle, patient dad! 
That being said, I can just imagine the three lions' entertaining antics!

Haha, well it was actually giving her a bath during this so she really was looking up at him (unlike the other one where he really was photo-bombing).
