Snow cubs.

Taken at the Miller Park Zoo in central Ill.  These cubs are the first off spring the mother has raised sucessfully. The 3 female cubs were being given their check up and weighed.  As I have found, getting all 3 to pose together is a hand full.  Close working space.

Beautiful little cubs! You got a great pose and the paws in front show how outsized paws are  with these little ones.
Only one suggestion - the eyes could be livened up. "Select" them one by one with whatever tools you use, and then play with the levels and brightness/contrast - and you will bring out the irises barely visible and they will shine. 
Sweet catch!
