"Hey, Mr. Photographer Man, whatcha think.....

[Gerry Sibell]

of this pose? Now, will you bring me to Walmart where I can get my portrait done by a real photographer?"
This photo was taken at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, the bears are free to come and go. A great place to photograph black bears.
I didn't over do it on the fracting but just enough to change the textures of the branches.

Gerry, Really nice subtle amount of Fractalius. I love the pose and think the expression is priceless. I think since this is OOTB I might do some branch pruning and also eliminate the OOF spot up top. Nice work:)

Gerry, I think this is nice frac. work on an adorable subject. I think I'd take a little off the left.

Gerry,

Greetings. I like the texture and the over all tone to the image. This might work as a square crop (cropping left and top) leaving the branch with the bear almost along the diagonal.

Cheers,

That's a great pose you captured, Gerry. And it suits the light fracting. The background is just a tad distracting. K

Very nice image, Gerry. Great pose and expression you captured! I like the subtle frac effect too. Agree on maybe doing a little digital pruning.

Agree with Denise's comments but what a neat image this is! Great facial expression and pose. I'd probably do some pruning as well and take a slice off the left side.
