Superb sharpness and details--the wet fur look on bears always appeals to me. Love the bits of shell falling out of mouth and the cub trying to learn from mom. Cheers

Great textures and a great moment captured...Like the splashes and foot up on the cub

[Ken Watkins]

What a wonderful moment well captured, great detail and the cubs raised foot makes it special for me.

[Robert Amoruso]

Good view of the eyes which I always like and prefer.

[Marc Mol]

Love the comp here Dale, the cubs raised foot, mum's head turn, the detail & colour in the wet coat, plus bonus shell pieces, well done all round.

Very nice image. Great detail and as was said the wet fur adds so much to the image asd does being able to see the eyes. Love the cub with the paw up showing off those great claws. Wonderful image all round

Lovely image Robert, great detail and the wet fur tells the story. The cubs posture adds so much to the image.

[Morkel Erasmus]

another excellent bear image from your camera Dale...love the crispness of the wet fur here, soft light also helped punch the details
