Nice Immage capture, also shadow. TFS

Seems she was quite close to you. Nice thought from your side to include the shadow. Good that you were able to shoot at base ISO. How much of a crop is this? I am sure that with some practice, you will know what focal length to use exactly, to get a composition that does not need any cropping, when you have focal length to spare (i.e. not using the maximum focal length).

She & her male cub(cross tail)wanted to cross the safari track and came quite close to us.Actually in this image cross tail was standing behind his mother(Gowri) as i wanted to include both of them in the same frame,I pulled back my lense to 55mm.
I thoght of 1st posting Gowri alone including her shadow and cropped it about 40%.

As you said you had both mother and cub in the image, I think it would be good to post the image as it is without cropping. Presently because of the crop there is lot of loss of details.

I liked the present composition with the shadow, but I feel without the crop it would have looked better. Thanks for sharing.
