    Default Brown Bear

    Took this last year in Finland. Had a blast and will go back there soon, I hope.

    Canon 1D MK III 500F4 1/250 F5.6 ISO 1000, just about FF.

    Hi Danny - nice detail and standing pose. I like the glance toward you as well. Sharpness looks excellent even with somewhat slow ss. Only thing I would do is tone the highlights and whites in the bg as they draw the eye and distract from the bear slightly. Overall, really nice image.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Agree entirely with Rachel. Hopefully there's some detail in those white flowers that you can recover. Bear might be oversharpened too.

    Danny, this is one cute bear and the pose is fantastic! I too believe you could try to get some more detail in the flowers and bring the highlights down a bit-certainly worth a try, since you have captured a very special moment here

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Well done with this one and for getting good detail and light in an area I know is notorious for lousy light.

    Good comments above re highlights so that covers the critique for me.

    Cheers
