More space in bottom otherwise you have winner here

Loving the soft light, poses and the colours of the background Haim! I agree with Harshad that it needs a touch of space at the bottom and I am also not sold on the 'dead space' on the LHS since the bears whose heads are visible are looking to the RHS. More space on the right with a bit less on the left would have both removed the dead space while adding some tension to see where they were looking, as well as placing the bears on a stronger point for me.

I'm not sure how much of a crop this is? Might be easy to try out my suggestions if you have the space in the original

[Arthur Morris]

I liked your choice of perspective and this is cute but following the basics here would have resulted in a far better image.

#1: Leave room for the virtual feet.
#2: Nobody gives a rat's a _ _ what is going on behind the subject. Keep the subject well back in the frame with at least two to three times as much room in front of the subject as behind.



Is that the 2nd cub behind mom?

[Haim Ziv]

Thank you very much for your comments.
1. It's a full frame picture.
2. Yes it's 2nd cub behind mom.

Lovely image Haim. I would have prefered more space at the bottom of the image and would have cropped such that there was more space on the right, in the direction that the bears are looking. The composition would have beeen so much improved and I am sure it would have had a different look, otherwise good detail.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Amazing moment...I would just correct the comp, more right and less left and it will be perfect and some more for the feet....Congrats

[Mark Wiseman]

Haim, I hope you dont mind, but I increased the canvas to the right to improve the composition, I defnitely think it improves the image, now for the feet!!! I hope you approve of the repost that I did which was completed very quickly following the advice in APTATS 2, available from Artie.

Thank you Mark.
