I think that I may have posted a version of this photo in the past and I apologize if that is the case. However, I was never quite happy with the focus as The opportunity came up faster than I would have liked and the high grass kept grabbing the focus. But today I ran the photo through Gigapixel AI and I am pleased with the results. Now the story behind the picture.

The kittens (there were four) were just a few weeks old. The mother hides them from predators (including male lions) while she goes out hunting for food. WE were able to locate the den by listening to the kittens crying. We arrived just as mom was returning and discovered that one of the four had left the safety of the hiding place The kitten was being returned home by the mother. The fun part was that each time she put the kitten down he/she would scurry away and mom had to chase after. What patience! What I like most in this picture is the look of love in the mothers eyes and the euphoric look in the kitten - knowing the safety of the mother.

Thanks all for looking and commenting. Topaz has allowed me to adjust my workflow. Generally the first step I take is to look at a 100x view and discard any pics that are not sharp in that view. But now with Topaz I can often save a picture that fails this view.
