Hi folks July is almost gone ,and Nancy reminded me of this month theme.
So i went again through some older files and found this image .Originally not that much a silhouette as per shot , it was underexposed .So i tried to make the best out of it and went a bit further for the more silhouette effect.
I specially liked the pose of the bear and had a laugh while photographing this .
The reason for this behavior was a Cessna flying very low above us , i was alone with the bear on that lonely beach in Lake Clark NP in AK.
Wonder what you guys think of this.

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous post
Hi Andreas - I like this and think you came up with a good result for an underexposed image. I like the way we can see the claws. I do sort of find myself wondering where the other arm is but that may just be because of your title which would suggest both arms up. If it were mine I would clean up the smudges in the urc.
Love the pose and the end-result, a good one to show we shouldn't be so fast to bin shots.
The hint of detail still visible on the bear (particularly that paw) is delightful. I agree that it needs some cleanup on top :)
I like the simplistic nature of the image Andreas, perhaps a rich Quadtone with the lovely richness of the sunlit fur coming through, double processed can work?
I too like this, Andreas! You have so many gems there in your folders, it takes a Theme to bring them out! Can you give us more info on what the bear was doing?
I like that bit of cloud in the right top corner, it kind of frames everything nicely No clean up for me, thank you!
Rich Quad sounds lovely Steve - great idea, hope Andreas is listening
