Rock Bear WC #553

Hi everyone! I thought this would be a good entry for the monochrome challenge!

I took this image in Yellowstone National Park, WY. This guy had been walking in the forest, but decided to start travelling across the rocks. I had never seen this before, so I tried to make an interesting image.

Thanks for looking!

The larger picture should be seen to really appreciate this. The rock texture and the bear's pelt really stand out. Excellent work, Jenaya. :toast:

Very nice in the larger version - just the sort of thing I used to do when I shot B&W film in the 1970's. Good textures; nice contrasting colors; effective composition.

Nice Jenaya! I like how the plant growing in the rocks on the far right match the bear's fur. The texture in the rock is amazing, and the bear is not too bad either.
