Theme: Grizzly with Cub

[Cindy Cone]

Taken at Yellowstone last fall. The bears were silhouetted in the original, and the sky was washed out. I added a gradient map and some lighting effects. Thanks for looking, and all c&c welcome.

Cindy, The color tones are gorgeous and the silhouettes are nice. You did a great job turning around a dull sky.

Hi Cindy, excellent composition. I love the silhouettes. Agree with Denise; great use of gradient map on the sky.

Hi Cindy, Thoughtful image with a pleasing gradient backround and a good comp. I also like the silouettes with the additional bit of lighting on the grass.

Another nice one Cindy! This has a very "end of summer" look to it that I like.
