    Hi Marc, great to see these chaps, hard to think that they might be extinct before the Polar Bear!

    Good detail in the face and with the flies around the nose... Perhaps a tighter crop and a little less saturation for me. If the angle was also a bit more to the left, then I think the OOF paw would have been better. As it is straight in line I do find it slightly distracting, but hey, that is in an ideal world and in the heat of the moment you might not always see it.

    Hi Mark like the relaxed pose and behavior !!!

    Agree on saturation, might back down just a tad, the greens look a little over.
    That face looks so good would also go a little tighter, these have to be my favorites and this is one fine image !!!

    Nice one Marc. Am I missing something or come after an edit. (greens look fine. Tongue might want a bit desat.. just as is so different in color being pink). Awesome timing on the moment. Couldn't be better. Amazing thing is they look so Cat-ish, which is what they, but the speed the change goes to violence is something I wouldn't want to experience. Like as presented. Thanks for heads up! Dave

    Love the tight crop and the details in the face and tongue.
