Another nice capture, Ken. I really like the rock foreground and background. Great eye contact with both of the cubs. I did find the image a bit flat. I took the liberty of making a few adjustments to contrast, exposure and saturation. See what you think.

Very good poses and eye contact of these youngsters, Ken. I like the slight inclusion of foliage to add some context. Jerry's suggested tweaks are good, too.

Sooooo sweeeet Ken!
It's a terrific shot. I like Jerry's version better, but would prefer to crop off some canvas at the bottom.
