Blue bear

Excellent atmosphere here, Kjartan! Great capture!

Thanks for any comment! Take a look at the large imagefile.

Very strong impression, lucky encounter!

I originally came to this image because of the colors, the layers, and the mood... But then i loaded it and saw the bear! That really makes the photo all the more amazing. I like the 2D composition of this photo, the fact that there are really no diagonals at all makes this photo different and interesting to me. Beautiful composition, just the right amount of sky above the tree line, and below, and the placement of the bear is perfect within the frame. On my monitor, i feel i would like just a tad more definition between the bear and his surroundings, but that may come at the cost of spoiling the 'mood' of the photo.

A 'lifetime' shot....one to justly be proud of.

My only complaints: 1.-Too much noise. 2.-Maybe it could be improved with the bear a bit more to the right (line-of-thirds stuff)? Apart from that, great shot. I love the athmosphere. Congratulations!

This one is hot, but in blue. Thats different and very interesting. Well done!
