Thanks for your comments and suggestions about previous posting of this picture (which I seem to have deleted in error!).I have had another attempt at PS; trying to lighten the cub's face a little.
All comments welcome.

Much better exposure. There seems to be a slight magenta colour cast in the shadows though. Try moving the magenta slider in Colour Balance with shadows ticked (I'm assuming your using photoshop) to about +15ish and you're good to go!
Cracking shot, though :toast: Very jealous.

I agree with Simon about the cast easily sorted :smile:

The shots much better now .

Its such a shame there is no detail in the sky, otherwise its a fine shot of a cute subject.

Hi Mike,

Lovely shot! I agree it is a shame about the sky, but its still a very appealing image.

Cheers,

Lewis.
