Very, very nice pic! You have nice dof...there is great detail in the foreground and the background is blurred. My only nit-pick (and it isn't a big one) is that while the tree branch in the background does inform the viewer that this is a wild animal, the rest of it is unnecessary...thus perhaps (if you have sufficient resolution and I think you do) you might try cropping this pic to come in a little closer...leaving his front paw but cutting off some of his back. This has the added charm of displacing the cub more to one side...thus adding "tension" to the pic. In addition, another detail, his eyes are nice and looking right at you, but they are a bit dark...perhaps a touch of lightening the dark areas...or increasing midtones...will make this fellow shine. I love his expression! He is still a baby but quite aware that he will grow up to be big and bad.

An appealing photo of a magnificent creature. Would have liked to see it a bit brighter.
