Hi Steve — another high quality output, and nice fun image indeed.

can’t agree more on the words in your intro , indeed one should have fun while photographing and it helps in producing better results.

Thanks for all the help and teachings, it was indeed very helpful. Hope to keep learning from you this year as well.

wish you a very happy new year.

A fun image for sure. If your not having fun out there your doing something wrong. Nice to see the pads on those big feet. Detail in the snow looks great.

Hi Steve, a real fun pose of the PB enjoying. Love the huge paws and folded hands. Nice techs too.

Lovely fun image and pose is delightful! Great techs as usual... Nice composition, well exposed, superb detail on the subject - enjoyed viewing, very much

Thank you from the heart for putting in so much time to help and guide us here in the Wildlife Forum, you are amazing Such a pleasure to learn from you, Steve. Hope you continue to delight us with your images and inspire us all to enjoy and have fun with photography

Warmest regards,

Outstanding processing Steve, the image looks fine as is but I would have been tempted to crop a little e.g. I don't think the bland top rim of snow really adds anything.
