Nice shooting on both Especially like the B&W think it works well w/the background.
Very interesting animals I get a kick out of the OLD MAN EAR HAIR they all have.

Mary K. Robison October 10, 2012

That NIK Silver Efex choice was brilliant, Jeff. This is the most eye-grabbing b&w shot I can remember seeing on the site. And the textures of Mom and Baby are a perfect match with the rocky background.
On top of that, your cool pov for the color capture is superb.
