    They already have been. Sometimes when you do this it starts to look unnatural. Also at this distance, not much detail to reveal. I felt this was my best compromise. Thanks for your comments.

    Stuart, As mentioned above to Morkel, they already have been. Sometimes when you do this it starts to look unnatural. Also at this distance, not much detail to reveal. I felt this was my best compromise. I will give it a try again and see what happens. Thanks for your comments.

    Beautiful image.
    I do not think that any adjustment is needed to the eyes - one of the challenges with bears is catching the eyes which are remarkably small and deep-set relative to the size of the animal.

    Robert - I like this very much. I agree with you about the eyes. Nice inquisitive look on the sow.

    Great stuff, Robert! I like it as is and wouldn't change it any further. Great pose and nice detail. Looks really clean too, especially for iso 1600; congrats !
