Hi Jon, I'm puzzled, the grass and leaves appear Nic and sharp, but the cub isn't just quite there to my eyes, I don't think the tail adds anything, do you think the central placement works? I know you like the flexibility of the brand, but being limited to low ISO for me is a thing of the past, and I'm still to be convinced of the IS here. I might crop some of the FG. Overall nice light, but again perhaps pushing the Saturation/Luminance????? Is this FF?
I hope you get the opportunity for more before they grow up.

Steve, I didn't want to crop too much, I wanted to include as much of the surroundings as I could. I appreciate it is not a work of art, that is not my style. Sharpness is OK not perfect, regarding the equipment I made my bed I will lie in it, I like Olympus it has some shortcomings but lots of advantages we have had this debate for two years now lets put it to bed. I may well have some at ISO 3200 of this scene I'll check. I'll have a look at Sat/Lum

Good evening Jon,
Love the puzzled look here from the little fox, so cute, such pretty face, beautiful poseI also like the lush environment and the fact that we can see the den.
Would have removed the tail in the ULC though. And cropped out a bit from the RHS and from the bottom to move the subject a little off centre and eliminate OOF foliage. But I suppose you wanted to include all the evidence of movement around the den... which I admit is pretty cool and points to behaviour. By the way, have you seen the cubs play?
Regarding sharpness - perhaps a bit more, especially on the subject's face? I really like this image and hope to see more, thank you for sharing Jon.
Warmest regards,
Gabriela Plesea
