Mother Leopard/Kabini#4

[Praveen Siddannavar]

The mother leopard is calling her cub who was on the other side of game track on our left. As soon as he heard mom calling the cub sprinted with joy, it was a wonderful moment to watch this and photograph.

Must have been a touching sight! The composition is nice..but is there something different about the BG? Were you using a filter with the lens or something?

Nice behavior photographed. The head turn and the eye contact is nice. Its quite rare to witness this behavior. Its good she was in the open. Agree with Bhargava about the background. Thanks for sharing.

It would have been fantastic hearing and watching the interaction of the mother and child. Did you try blurring the background? It attracts attention.

Thanks guys for the comments, I have done normal PP, no attempt to blur the bg. Infact I don't know how do it and also if the feature exists in LR:)
