Simply adorable.  Might benefit from  a close crop on mom and baby's heads as a portrait...with a slightly darker vignette to highlight this wonderful shot!

That baby is easy to like!  Lucy's ideas have merit, imo.

Geeeeeee, that's cute.  Look at that tongue.
I like Lucy's idea, too.
Great catch.

Very nice.  My eyes were drawn right into those of the cub.  I actually like the crop.

The cute factor is exploding here Ken.  I love the little tongue.  What a happy little one.
