I'd prefer a tighter crop on them - they are so photogenic! - 9

WOW - this is wonderful, the closeness and protective arm and just AMAZING - the shade is a little (and I mean 'little') offputting, but EXCEPTIONAL moment that deserved such a clear capture.

Great light! It definitely has the "posed" feel. Great capture!

Glorious portrait of one of my favorite animals. Seems to have lost a tad of sharpness in resizing but you get away with this because of the softness of what appears to be the light of a late afternoon. Super 8
