very cute Chas! just love the one sitting and gazing under his eyebrows...

[Steve Canuel]

Nice of them to all smile for you. Nice color and I like the habitat, especially the trampled down play area.

[peter delaney]

lovely composition ....love the colouring of their coats...the lack of eye contact with the photographer works well..

stick to the right a little obtrusive... put it s part of the scene..

another great image...

Lots to enjoy and very appealing Chas. TFS.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love everything about this Chas. Really great to get eye contact with all three cubs and the composition is over the top for me. Many thanks for sharing.

[Rich Ikerd]

Wonderful image Chas. Like that they are all looking in the same direction and their triangular position in perfect.

[Robert Amoruso]

Chas,

Colors and details so rich it is almost 3D. The cubs cooperated well in giving you three good poses at the same time.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Chas,
Super environs......the grasses just make them jump off the screen and great seperation of the 3. Very nicely done!!!

[Harshad Barve]

Super shot with all three looking at you , lovely 3D feel

Wonderful composition subject and great use of DOF.

[Jasper Doest]

You were close to this scene! But it seems like that wasn't a problem as came back safely :-)

Excellent exposure as usual and I really like the setting here. I'm really happy that you left that stick on the right in the frame. In this digital age, many photographers would be tempted to get rid of it...but it is an essential ellement in this composition.

[Randy Stout]

Jasper:

Can you expand on how you see the stick as an "essential element" in this composition?
I am not arguing, just trying to improve my aesthetic sensibility.

I like the overall environmental content, the grasses and background, but am struggling with the value of the stick.

Cheers

Randy
