Where's all the campers?, says the bear.

I'm glad I wasn't camping there, says I.

Critiques and comments are very welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

I thought he looked miffed because his den is on the other side of that sign and now he needs to find new digs to hibernate in. Very nice composition and good work on the exposure too. Every time I've taken a shot of a black bear it goes out way too dark.

Does this affect the bear :confused: ? But joke by side, the composition and content of this image is just fantastic. Excellent work Carol. :smile:
