That feels good
I didnt manage to get out today so heres another from yesterday,One of the cubs uses a stump as a scratching post in some of the undergrowth,I watched it go in and do some stretching up the trunk when a shaft of light came through the canopy directly on the cubs so it took time out to get some rays,as i have said before it is very dark in the forest and the cubs dont get much sunlight and i think you can tell by the expression on its face how good it felt

Canon 1D2 500f4 1/80@F4

Nice, have you tried higher colour saturation, lack of light is making things very cool/blue.

It may be my monitor!

Yes, I love this one.
I agree with a bit more saturation, just for the cub if possible as I like the greens just as they are now.

Classic Dave :toast: :toast:

This series is really showing the benefit of the Canon IS system - I couldn't pull these shots off in a month of Sundays, gotta get me some Canon gear :frown: :frown:
