What a lovely image of this cub... although the bg has a couple of distractions the cub is so appealing that they become insignificant.

Really wish this was mine...

This is great Dave................sort of what i was aluding to in the previous posting.

Excellent to get the entire head/body within the dof {including the stump}, and you have achieved it superbly..............and armed with the long tom :eek:

Very nice shot Dave!

This is my favourite of all those you have posted so far. Just love the way that the stump leads your eye straight up over the cub's back to those pin-sharp eyes. I also like the way that the cub's colours and stance merge with the stump and yet its face really pops out from the background. I think that's a tremendous image.
