I would give a body part, for this shot in my collection. I love seeing shots that show critters up close that I can only dream of getting close too. This is a beautiful shot.

Spot on Guy, 40D too! Proves you don't need the 'Top of the range' to achieve a corker of an image. :toast: :toast: We know who's going to be knocking on your door :biggrin:

Hi Guy
It's always nice to find them so young but they can be buggers for living in the trickiest of places. You've handled the exposure well and whilst it's a good shot it is a little bit let down by the messy habitat. I'm not going to be all neat-freak about it but I do want to always give my honest opinion so perhaps it's a location that you can return to in April/May and see if there is any chance of improving on it.
Good stuff
Andy

Nice image Guy I have seen better cubs shots from you,a little to close for me giving the subject no room. Beautiful light :wink: :wink: :wavey:

I love it guy.
I'm probably picking at the bones but I'd just like to see the eye in shade brought out a little more.

The subject matter and dappled light is excellent, as is the inquisitive pose, low shooting angle and natural setting. :toast:
