Cute Cub

[Ken Watkins]

One from the archives, the water in front is the Selinda Channel, when it was just starting to fill up, 21st July 2007.

Taken whilst staying at Zibilianja in the days when small tents and useless showers were the order of the day, and you could stay for 4 nights for $900 pp.

Hi Ken, I like the mischievious look of the cub, and Im sure he enjoyed playing in the water like any child would do. Good detail and light on the little guy.

Ken - cute, head on look at this youngster with great eye contact. I'd like to see a little more separation between the cub and the bg, particularly around the head. I think I would take a bit from the bottom to get rid of the blue-ish stick floating in the water.

TFS,

Stuart,

Thanks very much.

Rachel,

Thanks for pointing out the stick, I must confess to not really seeing that.

[Robert Amoruso]

Ken,

I agree on the blue stick removal by cropping or other means as you see fit.

[Morkel Erasmus]

very cute indeed Ken! I agree on cropping from the bottom to get rid of the stick, and might sharpen the face of the cub a tad more?

[Hilary Hann]

I've looked at this cub a few times …*who couldn't love that little face? Agree with other suggestions re stick and some extra sharpening.

[Steve Canuel]

Cute. I like the look on its face and the dirty feet and belly.

[Harshad Barve]

Gotta love this Ken , excellent eye contact and cuteness alert all over
