Coy cub

From my spring trip to the Khutzeymateen, a very special place in this world, a Grizzly cub that was very coy and playfull! This was taken from sitting on the floor of a Zodiac and held on a monopod or balanced on the side of the boat, sorry I can't remember but all were shot in that manner on this trip!

That is one adorable little Grizzly cub! There is some great detail in his fur. I love the colours in this image, but I think that the green is a bit too bright for what I usually like. Still an awesome image, though! Nice to have the catchlights in both his eyes. I hope I get to see more of this little guy.

Terrific eye contact and endearing pose. I agree with Jenaya that you might improve it even more with a desaturation tweak of the greens.

Really cool shot Tony - the bg is a bit busy/noisy, but that's my only nit. Nice one!
