    Very nice Ken, like the framing and the curled pink tongue , I'd try and lighten the eyes just a touch and increase the sharpening on the face just a few points also.
    I'm undecided about the OOF small flowers?

    Ken - very cute and good suggestions by Marc. Curled tongue takes this up a notch. Maybe get rid of the oof flower on the right and leave just the one?

    TFS,

    Nice portrait of the cub Ken and as mentioned the curled tongue makes it. Good suggestions from Marc re the eyes and sharpening.

    I like the OOF flowers. Do you have any with the flowers in focus and the lion cub OOF but discernable? Just for a different POV?
    I would lighten the entire face and eyes a tad - but not too much...
