An amazing capture of this mother and child. You really caught the angry expression .
At first I thought, what a way for a mother to behave, and then I remembered some of the conversations I had with my daughter. Madeline #2395463

I like almost everything about this, Jeff, except for the rather awkward blending of the black accross the cubs back. I'm guessing it was done by selecting the background and filling or painting it in. The back is a great choice, but perhaps putting it on a layer above and erasing the area you want revealed with a soft erasr would have given a more natural edge to the fur?? #2433386

Jeff Robinson level-deluxe February 18, 2006

Thanks David! Using f8.0 with the long lens the backgound was not in focus nor did it contribute to the image. I simply burned that area. I appreciate your feedback very much! Jeff #2434817
