Amazing looking creature and you did a great job bringing out all the details in his fur. Like his color against that BG. The fact that you can see all of his toes adds something to this one.

This is mind blowing Harshad. As Marina has already said, love the details you have got here. Mesmerizing.

Harshad,

Super image, and one definitely on my hit list.
I am looking forward to our time together next April.

Warm Regards,

Chas

Superb. Love those claws. Image design is perfect and the background rocks (Sorry but it's true.) You might wish to lose the one white bit of fur in the middle of its head, the white speck by the animal's right paw, and the two white specks on the rock face lower right. Breathtaking.

[Pieter de Waal]

Interesting looking Bear Harshad. Nice pose captured and love the way you have brought out the detail in the fur.

Love the angle here Harshadbhai - and awesome exposure on the blacks. Perfect distance from the BG to make a very nice bokeh...and that cracking high ISO quality of the D3 :tinysmile_shy_t:

Harshad, this is a beautiful image. Love the detail and the pose of the bear and those toe nails are amazing. But it has all been said already. Excellent work, you are going from strength to strength.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Lovely textures in the fur and love the pose. Love that BG...Very nice Mr Barve

Great deatail in the subject and I like the warm background color.

Harshad, this is a super shot, what really makes it work for me are the low pov you shot from, as well as the bears interested look. Great processing work on this one too, and obviously in pretty low light...
Well done on all counts here
cheers
