Liked the way the cub is sitting on its mother. The light was very low, to photograph hand held with the tigress licking is quite difficult as the shutter speed was only 1/15. It would have been good to use a tripod or rest the camera on the seat or the rod.
You got them nicely in the open in this image as compared to the earlier post. Nice eye contact. How long was the sighting? Thanks for sharing.

What a cute baby! When was this?

I agree with Mrudul. The shutter speed was too low to arrest subject motion.

thanks Mrudul, it was wonderful watching them play for morethan 1 hour. i know i should have used higher shutter speed, but in exitement to watch the cubs play, i ignored to check the parameters. also it was early in the morning , the light was bad and the tigress and cubs were sitting in the bush. anyway if i am lucky next time, i will do better.
