21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lioness and cub
This image shows a lioness and her cub in the early morning light. She had two other cubs but they had gone on ahead. What I like about the shot is the contrast between the power and strength of the mother, contrasted with the vulnerability of the cub. The skill and anticipation of my guide/driver had placed the vehicle in the perfect place for a head-on angle.
