Beautiful, Ken.  Lovely light.  If anything, perhaps more space on our left for them to peer further into?

Another wonderful image from you, Ken. I especially like that one of the cubs is on the lookout for other than Mum. That pose, I think, helps counteract the space on the left issue raised by Lon.

A fine image, love the gaze of center cub and OOF grasses really add to the image!

I love this shot, Ken!  It's very soft, peaceful and intimate.  The focus is exactly where it should be and the lighting is special.  Very, very nice! devil
