    Shot from the bow of the ship, this young guy stood just over 3.5m, enough to pull you though the railings if you were not looking!!!

    Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

    Hi Steve .... so cool that POV !!!
    Glad he was concentrated to somebody else ... but would have loved a look at you .

    Tones and colors quite very nice .... still have two suggestions as a personal taste . I bet you would be able to get more tone / depth into the snow/ice and a bit more detail into the blacks . Might be visible in PS .... but here in Safari I like to see a tiny bit more !!!

    Very nice image ....

    TFS Andreas

    Yep, I agree, I might go back to the raw in the near future, but I have a backlog of Avian to do first.

    Lovely work Steve... the image makes me feel I was there viewing the bear. Colors, detail and texture of the fur appear spot on. Thank you for sharing.
