Hi Bob One sweet image, great feel !!! Like the poses for all and the facial expression of the little guy in the middle is just precious !!!
For the effect you are doing might go about it a little different, I think darkening (slight) and blurring will give a nice feel concentrating attention on the family, sort of guides you in. Might also clean some of the leaf on the mom's eye !!! Different and like it a lot !!

Interesting, I like it. Soft wispy color. Work eye as Al says and try the other thing for comparison.

The effect works well with this family moment. I like Al's idea on darkening the edges.
The leaf infront of the cubs eye is slightly distracting. However, we have no control over vegetation. I agree with Alfred's suggestion. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Hi Bob, a very nice capture of some playful interaction.
It is certainly different in its outlook, but I just find the colours so heavily saturated for me it overpowers the whole essence of the image. Might suggest also posting in OOTB too?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Spectacular! Looks like a painting. Love the way the subjects are sandwiched between soft foreground and background colours. Well done!
