I like the timing of this shot, caught the bear with a fish in its mouth. On my monitor though, it looks a bit bright and too contrast. The colors look more than saturated, too. But, you were there, I wasn't. Anyhow, I think you could crop a bit tighter around the bear. At least I would cut some of the top part off.

I agree. about the color being too saturated. But its a great shot and that bear sure is happy! Those poor fish!

[Alfred Forns]

I like the action Monte Might show a little more bottom than top

Don't remember if you told me if it was a RAW or JPEG? That could explain the color etc. The image is over saturated and contrasty, real easy fix. Reminds me when Arite started his digital processing and discovered saturation..... everything was overcooked for the first few months. We had fun looking afterwards and he kept a few in the slide shows to remember !!!

Hi Monte,
I like the composition and capture...the action is great I too agree that the saturation and contrast levels are too high...need to tone it down a bit...:cool:

Hey Monte, great eye contact with both the salmon and the bear! Must have been a wonderful trip.
