Yes, it would be nice to have a postcard-like image of mom and baby "hugging" it is kind of sweet. But to my mind this would lessen the impact I am looking for. I want a bit of mystery from mom gazing away and the viewer's undivided attention on the cub, or its eyes. And well, I now think I went wrong with the composition here, for a tad more at the bottom would benefit this image and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Hope I have it, I will do an RP and share it with you as soon as I get a chance:)
