Grizzly sow near thermal feature

[D. Robert Franz]

I'm just back from a week in Yellowstone. Good grizzly viewing for most of the week seeing 7-9 per day. Here this young sub-adult female was walking near a thermal feature. I just made a slight crop off the bottom and left side for comp.

Nice simplicity to this image. I like how she's coming out of the thicker foggy looking portion of the BG.

very nice Dale! I like how the misty thermal feature BG added some "pop". How about toning down overall highlights just a tad?
