Love the innocence on baby's face. Light is great and monochrome have worked out well in your favor. Overall a very nice image

The posture of the young one looking up at its mother is very moving Kiran. The tail above adds a lot to that expression of the young one. Wish you had a bit less busy bg which we don't have control on. I would probably keep the image (more so the bark of the tree) a bit softer to leave undivided attention on the young one. These are all very subtle post processing decisions.

Unrelated to this image, I think post processing is not about achieving technical accuracy it is about achieving emotional accuracy. Sure, your 70-200 can give you razor sharp images, but you may need to soften it at times. Just kidding

PS : I am taking liberty to write these since I personally know you well

No doubt GaneshaNNa.. you said it.. "I think post processing is not about achieving technical accuracy it is about achieving emotional accuracy" absolutely spot on...

I agree with that bark being a little too sharp in this frame... one of those cases where a 70-200 is a little too sharp, isn't it Thanks a lot for your words of wisdom!

What an amazing moment ..... very nice one...
