Another from the 'Cub' series that broke all my rules, taken at Chiefs camp.

Shot a few minutes before the sun went down, no Saturation, Colour balance has been added, this is just at the end of the Golden light, purrrrrrrrrfect.:)

Hey Sreve, the light doesnt get much better than this, and I like the way you have cropped the cub. Apart from a bit of grass on the chin, what is what looks like part of a collar? Still deciding if you should chase the fly above the eye. An opportunity well used.

Grass and fly are all part of the image Stu, therefore it stays in.;)

Heartbreakingly beautiful shot. Bokeh is just wonderful and I can't expand anymore on the light. I like the vertical comp as well.............and the fly!

It will be very wet nowadays on Chiefs Island, but who knows you may still find some golden light:)

Lovely colours. I like the composition. Where is this Chiefs Island?

Cheers,

Yeah, people are way too encouraged to become romantic with the clone tool IMO. Glad you left the fly in there. That light just kills me, it's so warm. Nice image design. :)
