The main problem I feel is the size of image posted and for once, this may not illustrate it as well as the A3 print? It is more 'contrasty' at this size than perhaps I wish, however... Worth a punt.
Cheers

A handsome pair Steve, I think I'd like the face of the left cub to be a bit lighter.

I would agree with Matt, steve, the shadow across the lh cubs face is very distracting to my eye. However, I do find that many images don't do themselves justice at 720 pixels and a lot of the impact of a shot is lost. eric
I really like this and believe it has great potential as a black and white image. I also believe that a lot is "lost" in web sized images. IMHO A3 prints always look better

Hi Steve
A well composed image that works well in B & W and I don't have any exposure issues with the main point of focus - the cubs. Love the eye contact with plenty of shadow detail in their faces.

Hi Steve, Good detail in the subject as with all of your images and I like the choice of B&W given the contrasty conditions.
The shadow across the LHS cubs face has come across as quite harsh at this resolution. I would try and even out the shadows / highlights in that area somehow.
Hello Mr. K, nice to see you posting again. Like the gaze and subject but not so sure about severed bodies at the back. Must be awesome to see these in the wild.

10 repliesAs the light was harsh, colours were quite contrasty, so I converted to B/W just for a change.
