    Absolutely superb!
    It looks like you were close enough to touch them!
    I'm curious about the surface they are lying on.. is that a road, or just very flat rock?

    They are lying on a beach. The surface is course sand.

    I hope you had a really, really long lens. Look at the claws mama bear is sporting! Well done.

    D'oh! :)
    Must remember that sand comes in colours other than white and yellow....
    In any case, I hope you're hanging this one on your wall. Or in a gallery...

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for the comments. Yeah, Harry, I just thought this one screamed for a 2/1 aspect ratio. Too much dead space otherwise.
