    Artie,

    Cover material for sure. Way cool! Has a diorama sort of look due to what you did to the landscape portion of the image.

    Artie - He looks like a stuffed polar bear in front of a fake bg, the pose, color and separation are that good. Svalbard is definitely on my list.

    100% supermarket bear; you guys are too smart. I thought that I might fool somebody.

    Good one Artie, it looks very real to me:eek: I love that raised paw plus claws and his smile, would have been the perfect image

    My first thought upon opening the image was "stuffed" animal
    I assume if this was a supermarket display you replaced the BG with something you actually did take?

    Artie, What do I think???
    I think that is one amazing incredible photo!!!
    almost does not look real.....
    The BG looks "different" kind of blurred soft....??
    Best,

    Too funny. My first thought (for some reason I dismissed the polar bear) was, what did you do to the BG. Nice try.
