This little cub is very shy and almost never comes out into the open, got lucky as there was a small open opportunity to photograph her in between all the grass which gave a great effect.

What a nice opportunity and you made the best of it! Love the eye contact and pose. Exposure looks good. This one still looks a little flat, not as much as cross paw post. If you add a curve adjustment (s-curve) will make a great image even better. It really makes it pop.

Love the framing the grasses provide. Agree it needs some popping.
Love the framing effect provided by the grass. What lens and settings? Thanks for sharing.

Very nice image here, agree with above suggestions.
Adding contrast using a local contrast enhancement with PS USM amount 20, radius 60 and threshold 4 makes it POP especially the face.
