    Welcome Bob!
    Nice image, first up.
    Good comp, colour & lighting, the grass stalks rising from the cubs back also need some blur treatment as they now stand out amongst the rest, also do you have any more room on LHS?

    Welcome to wildlife Bob. Great subject to share, and good to see the front half of the cub in the open. I agree with Marc, a little tight on the left.

    Hi Bob and a big warm welcome too.

    A good opening shot, you are now raising the bar for your future postings:)

    My only comment is that I am not sure about the colour balance, it just looks a bit bright/harsh so perhaps toning the saturation overall might give you a truer/reflective rendition. A cute opening post.

    BTW If you time of day, if it has been cropped, could you please add this into your intro as it always helps the reader when replying back with feedback, plus if there is a story or just expand the text is very welcome too. ;)

    Welcome to the forum Bob. A little tight on lhs for me also. Nice comp chosen and he is a cute little one. Agree with the above re: additional blurring of grasses and Steve's mention of color balance. TFS
