Goofy looking critter, looks like he was trying to talk with his mouth full.

Wow, big bear! creepy. He looks a little embarassed to be caught mid chew... The photo seems a little washed out, was it scanned? I think it would benefit from a little more contrast and less light overall. But what a shot!

yeah, the original had much deeper & bolder colours, but you could not see the expression on his face, so I took the better of two evils and increased the brightness. since I don't have Photoshop, just some hokey scanning software that came with my Lexmark printer, that's all I can do for now. it is a scan from a 4x6 print. if you look in my portfolio, you can see the same bear with the brightness and contrast untouched.

once I finally buy a digital this year, I can experiment a lot more.
