Hi Loong-Tat
The shot looks pretty good to me. You got a good pose on both mom and cub, nice blurred background, good use of DOF. The inclusion of the tail I like. I would perhaps like to see how it looks with a tiny bit more contrast, and maybe some lightening of the shadows areas over the cats eyes?
Well done with this shot
cheers

Glorious moments is right. That cub is adorable & I really like the composition. Seeing the adult's full tail & paws in the grass is a plus. While I like the BG, I am conflicted about suggesting that you clone out branches left of center in the image. I would, however, consider removing the green sprout in the LLC & the branches sticking in from the LLS of the frame. Overall, a wonderful image.

lovely moment captured ... can only be enhanced by getting those amber eyes to shine...
I could tell it was the Mara from the thumbnail, nice pose, lightening the eyes would I think improve considerably. The twigs are someting you just have to put up with in this sort of shot.
I agree with the others about a little boost in contrast and trying to get the eyes to show a little better. Love the comp and the little one looking over. The twigs don't bother me as none interfere with the faces and it shows the environment well.
TFS,
Rachel
I think you got a good shot here....the composition is striking. I would remove the green shoots but leave the branches left of center
Well I would like to see more around the image, however if this is FF could you please add this in when posting with the EXIF data, thanks. It has a nice feel to it, especially with the cub looking at camera.
The colour looks good and perhaps a hint of contrast might work, but again it needs to be treated sparingly so it does not destroy the feel. There is the hint of 'amber' in the eyes, any more and it might look false.
Regarding the cloning, well i'm with Ken on this, this is how it was shot and therefore it stays IMHO, I feel there is too much suggestion and implementation of cloning. I appreciate we all have different views on this, however it can also make us lazy when we shoot. I days of film that would not have been an option. Leave in IMHO.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
great pose and moment captured here ! Agree with lightning of the shadows a touch !
excellent image for the reasons said above , cuteness alert all over
