    Sid,
    Any idea what leaves it is eating? Nice capture. The flowers give a feeling of a walk in the park.

    Cheers,

    Hi Sid, what a lovely soft and yet powerful image. I looked at it and it made me think of the bears we saw last summer in the frolicking in the lupine in Alaska. I enjoyed the image so much that I then put a cherry on the cake and enjoyed the images on your website and the images on your blog.

    Thank you for the feast!! :D:D
    Cheers, Jay

    Wonderful shot. The flowers go very well with the bear. The plant in it's mouth is a great bonus. Beautiful light.

    Sid, I like this a lot for all the reasons stated above. On my work monitor the face and top of the head look a tad bright? I wonder if a bit of burning may help? Could be the monitor.

    Stunningly beautiful Sid. I agree with ed's idea of the top of the image needing some darkening. I used a Graduated Neutral Density filter form Nix Color Effex Complete.
    I'd also sharpen the eyes selectively, which I didn't do on the repost.

    Bears and lupine, what could be a better combination! Great composition, and I do like Fab's darkening of the top.

    I like 'em both; I'm stickin' with the OP - the softness - less contrast - is special in this particular image.
