Young animals of many species can have such an enjoyable facial looks that anyone that has smiled at a puppy can emphasize with. These are so lovable. I like that they enjoy each other's company so much they stand side against side as one. ...David

...AND (as kids are wont to do!) standing in such a dangerous place. Looks like the edge of oblivion. What a shot! Congrats on the Pick!

I like this image a lot. Not only did you handle the problems presented in dealing with multiple subjects with ease, but you did it in a pleasing composition to boot! Good job. Besides finding the subjects absolutely enchanting, I really like the transition from tack sharp foreground and pleasing out-of-focus background (yet it still contains some beautiful hue and tone shifts).

Excellent work!

Cheers...

These guys are just darling!! Looks like the one on the right better watch his step or he might fall off. Don't know where Mount Evans is, but is must be cold. It looks like they quite a bit of a coat on them.
