Yep...now that I have my new monitor I agree...the eyes are overdone. Although, honestly I didn't do a whole lot to them. A bit of contrast and saturation, but both on the low end.

It is so frustrating to determine what monitor settings will be giving the most accurate portrayal of the photo, and it makes such a huge difference in the quality of the shot.

nice subject, but this capture doesn't do much for me. the eyes don't seem real, and the fur gets lost in the muted background.

I think if you toned down the left of the cub it would stand out more.

What a cutie! Great texture on the fur and grass. Wonderful job!

This is a really nice shot. The focus seems to be off a bit and possibly a little more contrast between the cat and the background. The compositon is purr-fect.

How cute. I like the grass gives a sense of scale to how small he/she is.

Is that the real eye color on that animal? If so that is amazing.

Took me a while to see the mother in the background. Cool shot! Darkening the foreground might be something to consider.

Cute as ...
The background isn't great though - too many distractions and too little separation.

Wow, those baby blues really stand out!

Cute always works, nice shot

Too bright for me. I think you should have held back on the saturation slider
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Adorable, but I wish the eye color hadn't been adjusted - I think I would have preferred it without this.
