    This is another image of the cub, cropped a bit tighter and had a better view of the face and body. There was no more space to the left though.

    Again lovely sighting, I still feel there is too much contrast. The blacks are very black. I also feel this one is too tight behind. I do prefer your previous post.

    Beautiful detail around the facial area. I think I would have cropped it square starting a few inches behind the shoulder on the left, keeping almost everything on the right.

    Hi Sanjeev - I agree with Dumay (again ) on all counts including preferring the framing on your previous post even though this gives you a clearer view of the face. You do get good sharpness at slow shutter speeds. From your settings it looks like light was really at a premium.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev again very cute this little fella .
    I like to echo Dumay and Rachel agree with their comments. Plus i would like to see more space on bottom than top , because the the little guy is looking downwards .

    nice image. Have you considered a vertical crop into a portrait image. It would focus one's attention on the face. To me, the most interesting part of the animal in this image is the face. The rest of the animal is either OOF or obscured by grass. The face is really nice.

    Hi Sanjeev, as it's so tight to the LHS I might go for a 5x4 crop and deliberately cut into the body making it look more 'planned,' but I'm not sure about how the IQ would hold up. In doing so the eyes have a nice diagonal line to the RHC, but just personal taste. Good you managed to keep the face.

    TFS
