The cub is expression says it all..only thing I might do if it was mind is remove the white thing hanging from its mouth...we are very fortunate to still be able to see and get close to these guys. Lovely image thanks for sharing

Monte,

Nice expressions on the cubs. The light brown cub looks to be where your critical focus was - this causes the sow to be soft. Do you have an image where the bears are lie more in the same plane of sharp focus? In this post, I would suggest cropping down some from the top to strengthen the presence of the bears. Also, more room below the sow and to the right would better proportion the framing.

Monte - I agree with Robert, particularly about the focus on the light cub. I like the way you captured them in mid-step so it definitely conveys a feeling of them moving towards you. Do you have any of just the 2 cubs? They look very cute.

TFS,
Rachel
