Good pose, and nice light on this bear.

Love the inquisitive pose here John, shadow detail and quality is holding up quite well, might just crop to below the broken tree limb.

I think there might be a magenta cast in the bear. Unfortunately I cannot see the whole image it is too tall for my screen.

Hi John - Love the pose and eye contact. Agree with Marc's crop suggestion. There is some magenta coming through on the bear but there is also a red cast to the tree. I would eliminate both if it were mine.

Thanks Jonathan, command or control with -/+ will make it bigger and smaller.

Thanks Jonathan, command or control with -/+ will make it bigger and smaller.

I appreciate that John but I want to see the image at it's native size, the +/- function is a compromise, I don't get a true refection of the image quality unless I see it at the true size.... and in it's entirety.

Hey Jon .... you need a new screen

Hi John ... oh a change from the stag !!!
This is a lovely frame ..i do like the moment you caught him . The spot in the tree and the down look of the bear is looking great for me. You control dthe dappled light quite well with good details across the tonal range ....looking really good .
I do agree with Jon and Rachel about the colors .
