Wonderful capture, Frank. Such detail and color. Love that they are grooming in the water like that. Perfect timing.

Beautiful shot… I think the crop is a bit boxy is my only critique.

A very nice image, Frank. The expressions and directions of the gazes create an interesting ambiguity about the relationship which I find intriguing. The hand is perfectly positioned.

Cool expressions and wonderful pose, love their curly hair.
I somehow feel that either more of reflection or less of it, would be better.

Very nice behavior you captured here Frank, the detail in the fur looks great. To me the faces don’t look quite as detailed or sharp as I would have expected when I view the full version.
