    Raymond, This is nice and I do like the mood. I feel tilting the camera up here would have given the eagle more room and balanced it better with the bear. It would also have lessen all the FG water. When I crop this at the FG just below where land starts on the right edge, I find the image stronger w/o losing the mood as I now focus in more on the bear's location relative to the eagle. As this looks full frame I am guessing you have no room above the eagle to add back on. Perhaps another framing of the scene?

    Raymond, Very nice mood and scene. I like the way you were able to get them both in the same scene. I just got back from Yellowstone and the Tetons, I wish I knew you were there it would have been nice to meet up.:)

    Despite me being very repetitive I find this to have great mood.

    I agree with Robert about cropping from the bottom.

    With the amount of Grizzlies on show, I personally feel this is rather refreshing, with a slight twist. As Ken has already mentioned, it has already been said above, but it's the overall feel that does it for me. Look forward to seeing more.

    Welcome to the Wildlife Forum. I agree with the others. The mood is outstanding but I would crop some from the bottom.

    TFS,

    thanks to everyone for the kind words, and advice. this image is the full frame, so please feel free to copy and edit
    as you wish. Robert, thanks for your very cool critique, much appreciated.

    Denis, I was there Sept 11-18, so we may not have had a chance for a meet.. not sure on your dates?

    I hope to be in Yellowstone / Tetons next year for at least a month... so maybe another chance!

    Thanks Robert, my thoughts exactly., though I have the first image printed and matted, looks not bad to me., though I will try a pano print, and see if it sells.
    Starting tomorrow, my images are in a gallery for 5 weeks! Gonna be busy I hope!

    Hi Ray,

    Love this image cropped as a panoramic. Really works well! Also very nice to see the bear within its surroundings.

    You captured many nice images from this Yellowstone trip.

    Talk with you soon
    Andrew
