Cub with attitude ~ Kgalagadi lion

[Callie]

Early one morning on the Auob road with a fine mist rain sort of coming and going - this cub resembles his mother to a T, one large, no-nonsense Kalahari lioness.
D500; 600 f/4; 1/1600; ISO 6400, yes, I could have lowered the SS but the heat of the moment . . . Auto ISO and M. It works, but one must still think and adjust for the light and situation
