Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous postings

Forgot to add the image .... LOL

One of your best Andreas, well taken and well processed with great colours. The whole family is sharp with nice detail and expressions from the little ones just too precious. Judging by the body language mama bear looks very alert and protective, lovely pose :S3:

I like everything here, if I were to change anything maybe I would crop a tad from the LHS and add some canvas on the RHS ( since the little ones are both looking to the right) - just my thoughts at the moment but as I said I like this as is... so a mere suggestion, take it or leave it:S3:

Thank you so much for sharing! Took about 25 minutes to view the image because of poor wifi... but worth it as I really enjoyed viewing:bg3:

Kind regards,

Thanks Gabriela for your kind comment :wave:
Bear mothers are always very alert , specially with those little cubs , when other Bears are around . At that time and at that location ... there was always potential danger for the cubs , too many Bear males .
Regarding the crop ... I was exactly thinking what you think , but refused to do so as only the right cub is looking out of the frame . Mum is looking is straight and the lying cub is watching the right one .... so I thought it is well balanced .

Cheers Andreas

Thank you Andreas,

It's ok, works as is. Just felt that all subjects are looking towards the RHS ( well, mom just a little bit) and that more was needed on that side of the frame.
Really amused by the little one with the fish in its mouth, he looks as if he is about to run away with it:bg3: Such cute creatures!

Super shot Andreas, I think this is material for competition. I cannot imagine many people having an image like this.

Thanks Jon ... I do like it too :bg3:
