Must get down there and have a go. Smashing little fella (or gal maybe).. Nice shots, though I think #1 would have benefitted from a slight framing adjustment to the left.

I don't get good shots that often tho they are asleep a lot, its a tricky enclosure and my reactions are slow I miss a few:D

Would be midweek if I do Pete, but would be good to have a guide.
Just need some decent weather and I'll be on my way (y)

Thanks very much they are so cute, was dead pleased to catch him looking at me I got lucky:)
apparently they were due to have their vet checks yesterday so we should hear soon what sex they are, it hasn't been announced yet though
 
Excellent work Pete, I can almost hear the "roar" that the cub is making! It was lovely to watch these little cubs, despite the half term crowds.

I've reedited the shot (I found one that was more to the left) I do see what you mean it does look better with a slight framing adjustment to the left
thanks again Glenn:)

What a little stunner Pete.... looks like you had some sun so thats cool.

Guessing their fur gets more orange as they get older.

Thanks Bryn much appreciated:)
yes they are quite pale at the moment I haven't increased the colour of the fur or eyes its pretty much as they look at the moment
yes was made up to get a bit of nice light , I waited ages for him to come out of the shade into a bit of light:):)
 
here's another one from the same day I messed up the exposure a bit the sun came out and just caught his face, I overexposed his face and underexposed the rest
I had a go at developing the raw twice and blending the two together

Another cracking set Mike, the last 2 for me, you did well on the re-edits (y)
