    Chad,

    This is very nice and just needed a little more head turn by the bear on LHS to get a little more eye then it would have been a classic.

    Hi Chad, always good to see bears, can I assume this was with Chas?

    If this was on the walkways I guess you had limited movement either side, plus the POV would be looking down to some degree? I don't have a real issue about HA, however if you had been able to move slightly to the right this may have given a slightly better perspective, but again I can only assume. Is the image cropped, did you HH the gear or was it on a tripod, obviously the later would restrict your movements? I like the way the water is churning up, gives a nice sense of the environment & location and the jaws of the bears open conveying the exchange of 'who's boss', asserting their position within the hierarchy of the food chain. Looking at the colour I would be tempted to adjust both the blue & yellow, as this I feel would certainly help in relation and primarily for the colour of the water.

    Great capture of the interaction.

    Would agree with Steve's comments here.

    The interaction between the bears and the swirling water makes for a very fine image in my view. I like the repost, looks like colour issues are fixed.
