The Bear

Realy nice pic....

So, Pierre, are you really a naturalist at heart? (The bear may join me in thinking so. Ha!) You've captured the awesome, and occasionally fearsome, appearance and character of this beast, with technical expertise and artistic sensitivity. One almost can count the strands of fur in the bear's coat, thanks to the degree of sharpness. I'm particularly fascinated by the fur pattern on its snout. - - My best always, michael

Michael, I liked your critique so much that I commented lots of your pictures in return, ha! Thank you, my friend! PDE

Welcome and thank you, Adam! PDE

Good, beast, Pierre, superbly captured! Eyes are not evil, but somehow concentrated. I suppose the bear relaxed in the pond and intends to have breakfast. Wonderfully done! Sincerely, Tatiana

Exactly as you said, Tatiana! Thank you very much! PDE

Pierre, I just saw the huge number of comments you provided. Please be patient with me in acknowledging them.

You are five times more productive than myself and I must give you five comments for your one! Cheers to that! PDE

Hi Pierre, Very nice photo of a wonderful animal. Its the first time I have to disagree with Tatiana. He is not a beast!

I thank you in the name of the bear and in mine, Andrew! Cheers to that! PDE
