    Cool behavior image. I also like the light, details and setting. Was this play fighting or serious?

    Liked the interaction between the individuals & position of their arms/paws.

    Axel,

    We had two pairs sparring for hours on end each day for two weeks.. It was incredible to watch and photograph, they played in rivers, on land, in the bay, and more. I do not know which images to choose to post.

    Bears Rock!!!! I head off to BC for Spirt bears next week, and Polar bears in Nov. This year alone I hosted eight bear workshops, and I am already looking forward to '09.

    Best,

    Chas

    These seem to be play fighting. Nice capture. Love the outstretched paws. Lovely.

    May I have this dance? Another great image Chas. Well done on all accounts. The facial expressions almost make me laugh.

    Dancing bears! Great capture here, Chaz! The eye contact they have on each other is great!

    What a great image. I like the action of the bears along with the nice fore and background, and nice light to boot.

    Bears rock literally! They seem to be dancing here. Cool poses. As presented it looks a bit flat, IMO it needs some more blacks and saturation. of course that is just a matter of taste, but IMHO it makes the image a lot stronger. Hope you don't mind my repost.

    Vincent,

    Looks overdone to me, but hey after all "it is just a matter of taste" or quite possibly monitor settings ;)

    Best,

    Chas
