Eye contact with both, ominous look on the Mom, tail swing and tongue lick of the cub -all very well captured.

Love it! The little one is the highlight of the image, especially with the little tongue sticking out.

A precious view of such a tiny cub, it can't be much more that 4-5 weeks old. The symmetry of mother and cubs pose is just wonderful. What a beautiful image Ken!
