This is a follow-up to my 3 Black bears photo posted on 4/19.

The two cubs heading up the tree. This is a vertical (portrait) shot with a crop off the bottom.

EOS 50D, EF135/2F at ISO 100, f/2 @ 1/400th.

It's always a thrill to see bear in the back yard - thanks for taking a look!

I really like the expression on the bottom cubs face. He's so cute! Must be cool to have a sow with cubs right in your background :wink: ! Great image :wavey: !

Maybe a thrill once, or even twice. It probably could get old after a while! :smile: Nice action. I like the way it comes together.

The posture and head turn/eye contact of the lower cub make the picture. In a perfect world both cubs would have given you the simultaneous look. Processing looks spot on with the difficult black coats.
