Another attempt at a high key polar bear image. I have color and b&w versions of this one and will post both here. I'm curious as to which one people prefer. I know this has even more white than my other high key image and won't be everyone's cup of tea.
Canon 5D3
300 II plus 2x III
1/3200
f5.6
ISO 800
Monopod from moving boat.
I almost posted this in OOTB instead of Wildlife because I did more pp and this is more artsy than my usual images. Crop for comp, increased exp to bg, levels and curves adjustments selectively to the bears, cloned out any remaining darker areas of the ice/snow (yes, I cloned)and sharpened in CS6.
C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,
Rachel

, mmm...I can just imagine a huge poster on a bare wall, just a tiny bear in this endless white landscape...
! I prefer the colour version more, but would like a bit of detail somewhere in FG/BG to anchor/ add a bit of depth. What a image!
