I like the light, it goes very well with the title, sure add heat feeling to the image. Love the HA and fur details. Might try to lighten the eye a bit and sharpen a little more.

Hi kostas - I would crop the top off down to were the wall starts - my eye keeps being drawn up there - will bring the focus more on the face.
Agree with sharpening/lightening the eye a tad.
Good show :)

Hi Kostas,
I like your bear friend...he does look tired. The techs. have been covered and very good advice given. Cropping from the top will place more attention on your big guy...nicely done my friend, you did well...show me more from your zoo...:cool:

Hi, Kostas, nice looking bear portrait! Good suggestions have already been made; the top crop from Lance really will improve this!

[kostas nianiopoulos]

Looks good my friend, a portrait in this case is of the face and close-up one too. The BG trees were drawing the eye away as noted by Lance. Fur detail is well done and he is a big guy - well done.
