    What a joy to see this, where were you?

    Pity about the light but I would just be happy to have got a shot, next time!

    Sweet and I like how you cropped it !! Got a great exposure for the side light and should be easy to work in PS, just get a little more shadow detail !! Good as is and sure wish it was mine !!!

    Fine capture for what you had to work with. Not one to pass up under any conditions. Might tone down the bright ground areas. I think that might help a bit. Do love the comp.

    I agree with Joe on toning down the bright areas. I selection using the channels pallet, copied to a new layer as a contrast mask and then change the blending mode to Multiply.

    Thanks for sharing this- never seen before. Some PS as suggested above can improve the harsh light effects- but when you get this kind of opportunity, you take it regardless, as you did.

    Great capture and vision to capture the shadow on the l/h side. Only heard them, never saw them.:(

    All nits aside, this is a great head on and low angle shot, raised paw adds as well. Perhaps the first here on BPN?

    I love the use of side light here and the inclusion really makes this shine. Being pigeon-holed into the sun at your back you miss out on some of the most dramatic full of depth images IMO. Very well seen and composed.

    You did very well considering the light. I like the detail in the bear and the eye on the right.
