    whoa Sid, I am glad I popped by the forum this evening. Looks like your trip went well.

    Patches of the snow looks a little hot on my monitor so maybe you could reduce the highlights a touch more.

    Glad to see you posting again, Sid.
    Lovely image, great job on the vertical composition - composed like that or cropped from horizontal?
    Exposure looks great. I see some hot spots as per Jamie but they're not attention-grabbing IMHO.

    Jaime,

    I see your point regarding hot spots. I should tone it down just a tick I guess.

    Thanks
    Sid

    Thanks Morkel.

    Composed vertical to add reflection in the image. Later on I kind of felt reflection was not strong.

    They weren't a big issue, but worth a touch up IMO.

    Hi Sid, a nice start to the series.

    Good call on the choice of format, what caught his/her's attention? I like the way you capture the subject almost paused, just double checking before slipping into the water. Looking at the facing snow, were you using quite a high ISO?

    Nice to see you back with cracking images Sid.

    TFS

    Thanks Steve.

    With 3 bears around there was always a possibility of action. I was playing safe with high ISO and shutter speed.
