    Default You talkin' to me?

    Another big female bear from Kamchatka,Russia. Needs a bit of NR on the background I believe.
    Had to slide the quality down a lot to comply with the size restriction. I need to try a different resizing method for sure.
    Specs: 1DIV 70-200@200mm f/4 ISO500 SS1/1600

    Thanks for viewing!

    Hi Sauray,

    Welcome to the Wildlife forum on BPN.

    I like the low angle and the tall stance you captured him it. Water off the claws a big plus. I very much like the luminance of the water and the good shadow detail in the bear.

    Overall, I feel the IQ looks real good.

    Welcome to the wildlife forum! Wicked pose on this bear. It must have been windy b/c I see his "beard," the fur on his chest and the water off his claw are all flowing one way which adds a lot to the feel of the picture, as does the standing pose.

    Looking forward to seeing more.

    Nice! I like the pano crop and the graphical quality to the color contrasts.

    Great composition on this, the inclusion of the habitat and the positioning of the Bear are great.

    How did you get to Kamchatka?

    Thanks a lot Ken.
    I went with a couple of friends to Kamchatka in August'11. We took a flight out of Delhi to Moscow and then an Aeroflot flight from Moscow to Petropavlosk-Kamchatsky (which I believe is one of the worlds longest domestic flight )

    Lovely scene here, well captured Saurav.
    I like the look you got. I agree that the BG needs some NR.

    It's good to have you on board. I want to encourage you to look at other members' postings here as well and supply some critique from your perspective...that's the way we all learn and grow in this wonderful hobby-cum-artform.

    I think all of us here are unqualified in some aspect of our photography - we are constantly learning and growing, that's what makes it fun. Your perspective is unique to you, you might spot things that the photographer posting or other viewers miss...

    Our policy here is simple: if you like or if you don't - merely say WHY (and if possible, suggest ways to improve it)
