John - incredible set here! All a joy to view due to the details and emotions/behaviors captured! Hard to pick a fave...but really digging #8!
Thanks JC. Thank you for your wonderful comments. Bears are one of my favorite subjects. It was a real pleasure to spend time with this mom and her cubs. Some of the youngest cubs I have ever photographed.

Love these, John! In addition to being beautiful portraits, you captured such intimacy between the cubs and Mom in many of these pictures.
They are pure joy to see.

Thank you so much Kim ! I'm very happy you enjoyed them. I really was trying to show the bond between mom and cubs. They looked to her for everything.

Thanks Dave! I had two fellow photogs with me. This family was my favorite of the trip. I did a lot of walking and searching for this years cubs. Finally found what we were looking for.
Congrats on the win John!
You were close enough to them that there was eye-"eye" contact in almost all frames. Very well done! The contact makes for a more personal composition. Extremely well done photography.
