Thanks Rick. It was a joy to watch them together, which I did for a good part of an hour. The cub got a bit too rough for the mother and bit her too hard and too often and got put in her place. Definitely an OOPS look!

Trevor,

Well done.

The tonal qualities are spot on.

Thank you, Steve. It was a joy just to watch the two together, and I did so for the thick end of an hour. Just prior to this photo, the cub had got a bit too boisterous and bitten the mother repeatedly, so as I took the image she was reading her the riot act (tiger-wise).
