First post - be nice.  :-)

[font=Times-Roman]I have been photographing polar bear mothers and cubs for more than a decade.

This was a very cold day at -45 degrees.
[font=Times-Roman]We found a mom and two cubs playing on a snow bank.  Things happened fast, as the cubs were running around and away from mom.  Later in the afternoon, they returned to their day den, and the low sun cast perfect shadows, making for very nice white-black-white juxtaposition.[/font]

Thanks for looking.

Welcome Thomas! Its always good to see Polar Bear cubs so we'll be nice to you this time.... and this is sweet with the attentive mother watching over her little family. We look forward to seeing what else you have to show us from your travels.

How can anyone not be nice when there are two polar bear cubs in the image?

Great first post to start with, beautiful interaction of cubs, love their shadows...image is very high on cuteness scale!
Your decade long experience reflects in the image.
Cheers!
