    Nice detail in the eyes and nice light on the bear. What a great subject for a portrait.

    Good looking image Chas. I am wondering if the BG division of brown to gray might have looked better lower in the frame.

    The expressive look on this bears face, the somber eyes, the turned head yet looking your way, all give this one the edge to captivate the viewer. The eyes are clearly visible in the sockets and the face has lots of slight shadows with tons of details. I love the tan hair lines up top around the ears. Your right, bears rock Chas! Please keep posting these guys. What I would not give to go with you on a tour!

    Robert,

    Perhaps, but getting higher would have negated the intimate nature of the portrait. Wildlife photography is at times the "Art of Compromise" ;)

    Thanks for the feedback Chas. Exactly the point I was hoping you would make. ;)
