Mr. Sleepy Head

This was taken at Miami Metro Zoo last week. Thought this picture was cute because his tongue was sticking out. Comments appreciated.

Excellent capture Jill, your subject is well exposed and composed. Only nit from me that's a little distracting is the white highlights in the background.

I agree w/ Oscar about the highlights but the bear looks so adorable I can "bearly" (LOL ) take my eyes off him to even notice the sky. Great eye for a good shot!

Hi Jill,
I like Mr. Sleepy very much. I love it. He gets three square meals a day, gets to sleep and play all day long...:eek::p;):):D The composition is great; and the blacks are in check. You have sharp details, and I love his natural day time bed...:) My recommendation to you, is to tone down the hot spots in the background; try to burn them in using the burn tool between 9 to 14 percent on the highlights; then blur it in at 100 percent; and you should be fine...good show...:cool:

Agree Jill .... but if the tongue sticking out is the cute part why not zero in on the action !!!! Great !!!!
