Nice action in this image. He looks very intent on what he is doing. The diagonal of the tree and the look of the cub leaves a bit of mystery about where is headed and what is up there.

Love that massive branch. The lighting on this one must have been challenging with all that light sky. You did well with it though.

After my comments, I thought the image had a slight green cast to it. I changed the white balance a bit and did some shadow recovery. Hope you don't mind. See what you think.
