You know what this reminds me of? Did your mom ever spit on her hankie and wipe a smudge off your face when you were a kid? From the look on the cub's face it is not happy with its mom for the face wash. I think he's saying "Aw, Mom!" Great shot - done beautifully. #5378209

The expression on the face of the cub receiving the affection looks like my husband when I try and kiss him.This is wonderful! The capture, itself, is wire sharp, the positioning is great, along with the tonality of the image and the expression is the icing on the cake.
Good work, and nicely done.
