Tiger cubs and Polar bears @ YWP
The first one is unusual ... It really focuses attention on the subject, but the context seems removed .... Have you used a mask -out programme? It looks like our Tiger has been placed in one of those shopping mall instant baby photograph studio set-ups ! (I'm sure its parents would love it :wink
I prefer the others with natural backgrounds ... All nicely rendered with good aperture choice I think. You've picked some strong angles and good moments ... Overall an excellent collection !
One small point for your processing ... They all look rather warm in tone. Perhaps the white balance could be a little cooler, or a small reduction in yellow saturation might help ... Worth a look I think.

I was contemplating moving to a Nikon system, thinking about getting a Tamron 150-600 and a cheaper body, D7000. I think I'll stick on my Pentax k5ii and Sigma 150-450 after today! The buffer never seems to fill on this thing and I can't believe the high ISO. None of these were taken less then ISO1000, many ISO250. I have really got back into this camera today! Maybe even treat myself to the new Pentax 150-450... HA! Like i have that sort of money knocking about It would be nice to use f5.6 @ 450mm knowing it will be sharp rather than having to stop down to f8 on the Sigma to get sharpness. That's worth it, right??? RIGHT?!?!
