    Dear all

    This is one of the most tiny cub of big cat I have ever seen
    He came out of bushes to investigate while mother was sleeping.

    Harshad,

    Lion cubs are so cute and this is a tiny one (brown eyes).

    Looks like a tad more sharpening is required, otherwise beautiul.

    Love the light and the eye contact. Could use just a little more sharpening.

    Nice image Harshad. I would crop a bit off the right so the space there is about twice what there is on the left of the cub. Maybe a little off the top too.

    Hi Harshad, Lion cubs are cute and in this light, what's there not to like.

    Personally I too might have swopped the space left to right so you have less on the RHS. The reason I say that, is that I feel there is a sense of weight very much on the right leg/paw as you view it and creating to me, a visual edge to it. Imaging the cub was resting against a wall? Just another thought. Would also agree on some more 'selective' sharpening.

    Hope to have some of your luck this year.

    TFS
