    A mom and her playful cub, part of a family with seven cubs near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, last July. I'm not entirely sure as to how to crop this image.

    Hi Ignacio - those eyes are piercing and beautiful. Nice playful moment and well captured. I think the comp is fine as is but as an alternative, if you are not opposed to more square crops, then you can take a little off each side. I would leave the top and bottom as is. Nice detail but the mom looks a little oversharpened to me.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I like how the mum is watching you while the little guy is oblivious and playful. You can almost feel from the image that a moment later she snapped at the kit to make sure it stopped playing until she determined if you were a predator or not. A shame that our presence at times makes wildlife nervous but mums will be mums.

    Sweet light and I hope to venture out that way myself sometime in the next year or so.

    lovely moment in good light here Ignacio...
    I might be tempted to open up shadow detail just a fraction?

    Hi Ignacio, I like the interaction, but agree with Morkel about opening the shadow areas up. Think you could loose a little off the RHS too.

    Beautiful image, great interaction, tack sharp and lovely light. I also think the crop is fine as is but if you have a bit more room I would be inclined to give it some.
