Jackie, Has a real loose sketch look to it. I think it gives it a bit of an abstract look-nicely done. You could try to make the eye a bit more realistic if you wanted but not needed w/ this look.
Jackie, These simplistic images are quite beautiful in their own way. I really enjoy them quite a bit. I'm not sure how i would react to being close enough to this guy to capture this shot. Several close range shots this week. I tip my cap to all.
Lovely composition. Unique and pleasant combination of color, shape and treatment. The loose oversketch is a very appealing technique. Very nice! Thanks for sharing yet another bear!
