Another of my Yellowstone grizzly,this time she was saying goodbye to us,its unfortunate that 1 cub is partially hidden but there is almost a symettry the way they are moving up the hill.I also like the pose of mum,she is sniffing out any danger in the area,I can imagine the scent of camera happy tourists is quite overpowering.Once again any comments are appreciated,I know its not a perfect shot but I am happy to have all 5 in frame.

Nice photo. I agree that it is too bad the one cub is somewhat covered up by the plants. It is an enjoyable photo. Thanks for sharing.

I would be happy with this shot too Colm. Nice family photo. I would only suggest maybe cropping off some of the top.

I agree and would be happy to have this too. Taking some off the top would make this stronger I think.

Hi Colm,

I agree with your comment about the symmetry and quite like how the cubs themselves form a leading line taking one's eye to mom. I do agree with the others about considering taking a little off the top - I'd probably remove between 20 and 25% of the total height (leaving the entire foreground intact).

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
