Very nice image, Andreas!
I am not at home right now so viewing on the laptop, could not help but open the thumbnail as we have not seen an image from you in a while:S3: Glad you are back and looking forward to images from your Namibia trip soon.
Composition is great and I like the second bear in the BG. Nice 3D feel in this frame. Techs are spot-on. The main subject has an impressive profile - a little mean looking and rather serious - and is well separated from the BG.
Love the rich colours and those deep greens. Nice detail on the bear's face, fur, as well as paws. A well processed image I thoroughly enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for sharing!
Kind regards,

Nice composition with the OOF bear under the snout, and I like the pads showing on the back foot. It looks like it needs a salmon or two, a bit thin.

Beautiful frame Andreas. Agree with Gabriela on all counts. Would love to photograph these guys one day:S3:

Hi Andreas, I like the persecutive, but would prefer a bit more below, just find it a wee bit tight. I also like having the second bear in the BKG, gives context. Personally I would get a bit more *tone overall, not much, but I feel it helps and also make the water a tad darker, but retain the saturation. I would also darken the HLs on the two logs in the BKG.
Just my take.

* Keep the colour of the water in as per the OP, not RP that is too blue!

Thanks Gabriela , Greg , Chris and Steve for your kind comments and your RP .... Steve .... much appreciated .
Steve .. good call on the overall tones , i did want to go too dark in the first place . Maybe half way would be good for my liking , i am fine with the framing but have a tiny bit more room in the file . Thanks again for taking the time to create the RP , always good to see options in presentation !!!!
Cheers Andreas

Love the attentive look you've garnered from both bears here Andreas and the placement of the rear bear makes this image for me, nicely seen.
TFS.

Looks quite concentrated on getting that salmon. Like the balance the bear in the background gives this one. The low angle is spot on. Well done.

HI Andreas -- A very nice POV and Framing. Excellent details and tones here. The low angles that you achieved makes the image for me . Unfortunately it is not possible to get it most of the time when it comes to Tigers.
A very well executed image Andreas.
TFS !
