A very powerful and beautifully presented, intimate view of this trio Bill. 

The content, position and visible faces of the cubs are captured superbly!

Awesome shot Bill - you can almost see the "wheels" turning in the mom's head - wish I knew what she was thinking.

Hello Rhett,.. Thanks for your feedback, this was taken in October 2014, was in there for about 1 week. Very heavyrains 24/7 , .

John,.. Great for feedback, there were three cubs, but difficult to get the whole grouping together, already at their early ages they have unique personalities, and it shows here with the curiosity showing through!

Gorgeous capture -- the eye contact with the cubs, especially the one in the foreground, and the profile of the vigilant mom really grabs attention. Congrats!
