Cuteness Overload

This was the only small cub I saw during my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest. I loved the tongue and his cute brown ear tufts. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Love the wet fur and the protruding tongue.

It is really cute Jerry. Love that tongue. It looks very well fed too. Nice detail for how dark everything looks.

Jerry, a very cute capture of this little one. Very good detail in the blacks. I might clone out the bright green leaf in the LRC.

A neat cub image! Good detail in the wet coat of the bear. Also like his facial expression. Again, I think you could crop this tighter. TFS.

Jerry, this is a very nice image of a cub in it's environment. In my personal opinion, I like it as is.

This is a good one, Jerry. Only small thing I would try would be to darken the two small out of focus branches above the cubs head to help lessen the effect of their pulling one's eye.

Cuteness overload indeed! Tough to beat bear cubs for the cute factor. His tongue sticking out is just adorable haha. I like the comp you chose, and the detail looks pretty good considering the shooting conditions. I do agree with Lon about the 2 branches above the cubs head, though.
