Saby, I like your the comp, and Im glad you left the reflection in. I like the timing of the one cub nudging the mom. Stunning light to show them so nicely. Great capture.

Thanks a lot for your comments. I love the unalloyed love and affection displayed by these wild animals. I feel they are more humane then we humans. May God save them.
