This is my first post in years, so please forgive any mistakes in posting!

July 4, 2017.  Brooks Range.  Noonish.  Waiting my turn at the main platform, saw a bunch of tourists in a corner of the waiting area (no photogs in the bunch really) and wandered over just as this sow started to roll onto her back and feed her cubs.  The light was challenging, but the near-vertical angle actually beneficial I think.  Any input appreciated!

What an opportunity and experience to be present for! Light was a little challenging, but doable. Good comp and great story telling image.

Good to see you again Lillian, and as you say, the high vantage point has given you (and us) quite a unique view of the sow and her suckling cubs! 

A lovely view of a precious and intimate moment. :)

Did you try using the Shadow/Highlight tool to cut down a little on the contrast?
