The pose, scene and composition is excellent. Looks over exposed along with hot spots on the bears. If you toned it down this would really make this image spectacular.

Very sweet. I like that they are both looking to the side, and mama's raised paw. Nicely composed. I agree this is a bit bright, maybe 1/3 stop less exposure and/or toning down the highlights will make this even better.

Hello Missy

Excellent capture , Love the raised paw of mom gives a sense of motion , Great Eye contact, from both bears,
WOW, those are impressive Bear Claws on Mom!

I too find it a little bright and this powerful image would even be better with a little adjustment. And is the horizon needing some cw rotation here?

Thanks for sharing

Great poses by the two.
Agree it just needs a reduction in exposure or Shadow/Highlight to decrease the Highlights

Always nice to get mother and baby together. That is a great look at mom's massive claws. I agree regarding brightness, an easy fix, sweet shot Missy!

Its all been said Missy. The content of this lovely image is well worth a re-work to improve on the light/exposure problems.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your feedback. I tried to bring down the bright spots, and I think it made a big difference :)
