Kamtchatka Brown Bear ( M/F) IV

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi all ... a completely different image design
A big brownie in the vast landscape of Kamtchatkas Kuril Lake with the lovely volcanic mountains as a backdrop .
I placed him /her initially in the LRC to let him appear even smaller .... in his world .
I should have shot this in different ways , meaning different placements inside the frame ... but I haven't . Just too many bears at the same at that spot .
The FG is very hazy in parts , caused by the sun heating up the shallow water .... I left it as it was in real life

Canon EOS 1Dx
EF 70 - 200 2,8 IS L II with 2x TC at 400 mm
HH

F 5,6 ; Iso 500 ; 1/1600 sec

Processed with DT 4.6 and PSCC 2024 ; removed two gulls in FG

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous postings

Cheers Andreas

I like this a lot, Andreas. What lovely, vast landscape. And glad you left the haze alone as it contributes to the whole atmosphere and creates this almost 'dreamy' look, if I may describe it this way.

Bear nicely positioned within the frame. Great colours. Overall nicely processed with good detail on the subject. Judging by the pose this chap looks interested in other bears...or maybe fish jumping out of the water?

Very different and overall works for me, nice work! BTW this reminds me, I must decide on another lens soon

Have a lovely rest of the week-end, thank you so much for sharing,

Kind regards

Cheers Andreas
