I was at Banff NP and was photographing this young grizzly foraging on berries by the roadside very early in the morning-did a Topaz Simplify and masked the eyes and claws.
Denise, I really like the colors and textures in this one! That patch of light behind the bear's head sets it off nicely and draws the eye to the central subject.
I printed up a series I call "Jellystone" Mostly bears all with the Simplify and they look good. I print them on a heavy mat paper so it looks a bit more painted. I tried a canvas paper but didn't care for it.
What type of printer and paper D? I also posted a question on paper in Digital Workflow. What kind of paper people like best. Maybe you could answer there if you think it is appropriate,
Thanks:)
Well this is a real eye catcher, Denise! Color, comp, texture. The effect is wonderful, and I just love this stand-up bear beautifully framed in the forest. Love it. Excellent!!
