    Default Brown Bear

    Still in Alaska but just back from Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. I haven't finished processing but thought I would post a shot while I have internet access.

    Canon 50D
    100-400 at 400 mm
    1/800
    f 6.3, Aperture Priority
    ISO 800
    Exposure comp +1
    Taken at 9:20 pm after it had been cold and rainy all day.
    From an elevated platform overlooking the river and on a tripod, cropped slightly and BG darkened.

    C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

    Hi Rachel Like the intense look and selected crop, water bg is good Mixed light is not helping much making the water sort of flat looking, should be easy to brighten up !! ... did well with the exposure Would check the point of focus, not sure the eye, nose area was selected !!! Looking forward to the next one !!! Love them bears !!!

    Great image this. Did you change the BG to B&W or is this what it looked like?

    Agree with Al, but also think that more can be squeezed from this. Often a danger when pp whilst still out on a trip is that the emotion of the moment stops us from assessing what the image needs. Perhaps when you are back home you can put this through the 'mill' again. You must be having a wonderful trip … bears must be wonderful to photograph. One day!

    Like that intense stare and the nice light. Also like the rushing water in the background.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Al - the Af point is right on the bear's left eye. Here's another attempt at PP so that the water is not as flat. Thanks again,

    Rachel
