Let Sleeping Bears Lie

good advice! nice (quiet) shot.

Amen!  Wow, at 70mm this guy is about 2 seconds from you... Mike

GREGORY and VERENA........even though it was raining pretty hard, he seemed quite content.                          

MIKE............Must of had a full belly. Didn't seem the least bit interested in us.

Best regards. Bob

Superb subject,not to have every one,you caught him in a nice posture and what big are his claws,nice fur too.

Good advice. Great capture.

As far as the critique to improve the image, I suggest a tighter crop, so much of the photo space is just brush. Also I recommend adjusting the white balance to bring the browns and color out in this bear.

You have a very good image here, with a little tweaking of color and cropping you can make this a stunning image.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Mark
