You're on a roll, Jack.
Another beauty. I wish the entire reflection of mama was there and that the grey stump weren't growing out of here hind quarter. Another step closer perhaps? Perfect world stuff! I might try a crop that eliminates the snow field at the top and the bright stick on the far left.
Cool shot as is!

Three reflections! Cool. Do you have any more space on the bottom? Regardless, very nice as posted.

Nice shot Jack - too bad about that reflection being cut off, but at least you got the reflections of those cute little cubs!

Great color and reflection. I also wish there was a little more space on the bottom.

Interesting image, must have been exciting. I also would like the shot to have had a full reflection of all 3, but still a very nice image. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful family scene of mom and cubs. Wish the image was larger, though. :toast:

Hi Jack,

Nice "family" shot! My first thought is exactly what several others have pointed out - a strong shot as is but it's too bad the reflection of ma is clipped in this shot. But overall a great experience and a solidly executed reminder of it!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

I don't mind the cropped reflection at all - I do agree that the stump is unfortunate though and that a crop from the top would make this stronger. Wonderful scene!
