Hi John - Another good look at the black bear. Looks like the light was a bit harsh. Some of the blacks here are choked again. You can bring out more detail in them.

TFS,

I find getting blacks correct so difficult and i think you have done well here. I like the contrast between the strong black and green colours. I think if the head turn was more and you had light on the other side of the face that it would add greatly
