Tall Boy
Taken tonight before a huge storm put paid to the procedings which is a bugger as i had all 3 cubs infront of me,I aimed to get this image by smearing some puppy food up the trunk-Nice when a plan works, One thing i will say in favor of the 1D MK3 is that the silent shutter is great for this type of photography, The cubs take no notice whatsoever, The cub has a leaf on its nose which i may clone out

Canon 1D3 500F4 1/250@F5.6 ISO 400 (Full Frame)

I hadn't noticed the leaf until you mentioned it, and it doesn't worry me now I know, it just adds to the charm especially alongside that tongue. Makes me smile. Great shots all of these Dave.

Hi Dave

The best of the series so far! Good balance to the picture,nothing distracting.I would clone the leaf and maybe the piece of grass bottom left(but not the ivy)but otherwise brilliant!Mine are all out in the open so nothing to photograph them on,not that they sit still for that long!!

Cheers

Agree with Eric, Dave, I'd leave the leaf it, its part of the charm - of which there is bucketloads! :smile:

The leaf just adds to the charm of a cracking image Dave. Well done.
