    These two 11 month old bros were just finishing up a preening session after dining out on a baby thompson's gazelle, completely lapping up any sign of bloody muzzles.

    A sweet moment Marc, nicely composed illustrating some good interaction & bonding between the two.

    Like Hilary's Lion posting, might suggest some selective work, just ease off on the dark black areas to let some more detail through, just on the two areas of the nose and the area running from the eye to the muzzle on the right.

    I like that both have their eyes closed. I like that you caught them mid lick. OOF BG helps to strengthen the imagery providing no distraction.

    A nice moment captured well.

    Marc,

    Beautiful pose.

    Blacks appear to be a lttle dark, I would prefer a little more at the bottom if you have got it.

    Captured a nice moment here Marc. Like the background and agree with others that the blacks look a bit clogged.
