    Default Mr Baby Bear

    The polar bears have showed up in Resolute Bay, Nunavut. The ice has finally left the bay, so the bears are coming in numbers! Yesterday, we managed to get quite close to one to this cub, and grab it's picture (from the safety of the truck).

    Would suggest going lighter overall and increasing contrast on the hair, reposting below !!! ... btw here you are better off metering on the snow and opening up one and on half !!

    Thanks Alfred, you are truly helping me A LOT in my post processing techniques. I appreciate it very much!

    edit: the culprit has been found, in lightroom, for some reason the contrast was set to linear, not medium/strong. Weird...

    Cracking little image Charles and a good comp. Al's repost has brought out more detail and removed the slight cast within the colour. Excellent POV. Hope this little guy makes it through the winter.

    Thanks everyone who commented. This little one had just finished having a snack (a seal). I too bad I got there right after he was done!

    Here's my re-edited version.
