    This is beautiful, Jimmy, I love his demeanor as well as the sunlit BG and foreground. I may include some room at the bottom if you have it.

    Good to see you around :)

    Very good behavior capture Jim! He looks like he's about the sing an opera! I agree with adding a bit to the bottom if you can.

    I think I just figured out what he really is doing! He is scratching his back on that pine tree.

    Other then needing more room at the bottom, love the back-scratching pose (that what it looks like to me anyway). Bright BG sets off his black fur quite well.

    Aside from the fact that I think Robert is correct and he is dealing with his itch, I think at the same time he is preaching to Woods! Can't you just feel the bear rubbing against the branches and needles?
    Cheers, Jay

    Oh man , What a pose and how beautifully you have done it.
    For me some more space but not the ultimate requirement.
    I am enjoying this picture

    Now there is a bear. It is already one of my favorite images. Love the way blacks are exposed here.

    I'm wondering if its a baritone or a tenor? What a great catch for you!

    You have captured a fabulous moment. I agree with Robert re: dark bear against light Bg. :)

    I echo fabs comments exactly. Lovely behavioral shot with good detail in the blacks. I like the BG as well except for the two grass plumes on the right. I would probably tempt to clone them out, although it wil prove to be a nasty task I guess with a BG like this that is not really uniform......All in all great shot! Well done
