    Very cute little fellows with their bright eyes, Ken. I'm sure you were excited to have the opportunity to watch these cubs.

    Again, the cuteness factor is way up.
    It looks like pretty tough light conditions, but the scene and the cubs more than hold there own!

    Hi Ken , never seen any this young, what a treat. Nice eye contact and typical "puppy" postures.

    Looks like double trouble Ken.
    Very nice image. Harsh light very well handled.

    Ken,

    Even though the light is strong I find the cubs flat looking. I would suggest a curves adjustment and darken image by pulling down and right at the midtones.

    Agree in cuteness factor. My preference would have been not to have the grass and foot coincident but I certainly understand how these things play out.

    Thanks to everyone for your kind comments, much appreciated.

    Robert,

    I will try your suggestion, "pesky grass" yet again

    Robert,

    Here is a rework using your suggestion, which I think has improved things greatly, thanks a lot. There are just too many things you can do
