Nice moment captured. It is always interesting watching these playful young ones. I think there is no need to soften the matriarch. I would prefer to get all the texture in the skin. Thanks for sharing.
This looks a little cluttered to me and would have been much improved without middle young ellie, getting them seperate is always difficult. Mum? definitely does not need blurring.
Hi Hilary I like how you went tight on this one !!! Great interaction .... like the selective sharpening but would have left mom alone for the mentioned texture !! Excellent!!!!
