All in all- I love the photograph the only thing I would try is to crop it a little closer - attempt to get the brown bush (camera left) out of the picture, for me, the brown bush, takes away from the subject matter - I find, with my photographs I ask myself - How I can improve what the story of the photo is conveying ? - cropping under the right circumstances can do that - . If your story is about the Mother and cub.... (and I know you know- it is)... then take some of the distraction away - just a thought - but I Love the photograph. The color - the composition and everything is great ! Thanks.
