Super cute. Love their pose, one looking out, one looking up. Nice background and nice looking tree with leaves. I wish there are more details on the body of the cubs. And maybe a bit more sharpening on their eyes/face. Nice composition. Overall a really lovely image!

Wish for a bit more detail in the cub's body but I like the poses of the two, the tree trunk with the ivy, and the BG.

Hi Allen, this has cute potential. The cubs are in a good pose and the image is composed well with good lighting. I am not sure of the focal point, as the leaves on the tree trunk are pin sharp and the cubs are a little bit soft. Maybe the image needs a little bit of LCE and some more sharpening and you will have a wonderful image. TFS and well done.

Love the composition you created here, Allen! Great poses and huge cuteness facter. Agree, a little more tweeking to bring out some detail in the darker areas of fur if possible, but very nicely done!

Huge cuteness factors here. Good suggestions and points made above to improve the image.

TFS,

Lovely moment here Allen. Focal point noted but what bugs me here is the lack of detail in the cubs' coats...there might be more to extract if working from RAW but as posted it just looks "closed up" :e3
