White Lion Cub

Trip to the Toronto Zoo with my niece. This female cub was watching the crowd as much as we were watching her.

What a beautiful cat! The second one needs to be rotated and both of them could just a bit more contrast and exposure adjustment. Nice work, though. Let us know if you need some post-processing tips. Thanks for sharing these

Thanks John. Any tips are always welcome! I'm using Aperture, but only fairly basic post-prod so far.
The 2nd one uploaded in wrong orientation. Not sure how to fix that on the forum?

I'm a PC user so I've never used Aperture. However, there's should be contrast, exposure and white balance controls. Think about how the lion looks on your computer screen and what it actually looked like. I would brighten it up a bit, warm up the white balance and add a bit of contrast to give it more snap. Just play with it in Aperture and see what you can do to give it some more life. You've got a great subject but the presentation could be better.
