I like the way the cub is looking down at the mom. Could you have made it a little wider and shown more of what the cub was doing? It would be a different picture, but maybe just as interesting.

I really like this. However. I long for a wider view to have a better sense of what is going on. Well done.

This is a great pose, with the curled and out-stretched tail. I really wish he was standing on a smooth backline without the ear, however, as my eye keeps looking at the ear and then becoming consciously aware of the cut away face below.

Thanks everybody, I think I should have pulled back a little to get more of Mum or Auntie.
