These cubs are from the same reserve where I took the shots Day Dreamer.

Also taken with the Coolpix L1.




This one is obviously not Day Dreamer's cub, but thought I'd show him anyway.





Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them

Wow, how did you get so close?! I would have kept my distance after seeing those claws!

It's ok to get close to them as long as you do not touch their paws or the back of their ears.

Other than that, they're quite playful and loving.

Look at those claws

the second one would look good as a big print....... and those paws

The first one is awesome (even though a bit more DoF might have been better), and the second one is excellent as well. Great job here

Thanks.

I wish had some control over the depth of field, that's why I'm upgrading to a DSLR. I've been handicapped way too long by my P&S now

Cowabunga!! lol..what great portraits.

Just goes to show that it's the photographer and not the gear that makes an image.

Very enjoyable shots - can't help but grin ear to ear when seeing them

Wow, these are beautiful and take my breath away. You don't see shots like these to often.

Cheers Ormina

Thanks for the great comments. It just gave my confidence a nice boost!

... but it would not have benn possible without the co-operation of the cubs.
