Billy, I just love this! The amount of blur is perfect IMO. I like the interaction and the movement.
You could add some canvas to the sides and bottom and take a slice off the top and adj. the color cast if you wanted to but it's still fantastic as presented.

Great blur, Billy. Seeing the one cub's face makes it extra good:)

Love the blur, might just clone out the black marks above the cubs. Very nice interaction.

Thanks for the comments _ I agree with the tight bottom and side - how best to add canvas and fill? I never can seem to make it look real - I did not do my usual duplicat copy - average blur-curves tick to remove the color cast - if I could get a decent additonal canvas _ I would repost - BTW the black at the top is the mother's tail
thanks again

Billy, You could add the additional canvas. Then use either the clone tool or add a layer w/ a mask or use the marquee tool and drag some of it over a bit. If you need more guidance please feel free to PM me for a more detailed explanation.:)

Billy, I think that it looks good but I think you should try to keep that rear foot and smooth the transition a bit more.
