I like the way this young male Sprit Bear stands out from the surroundings. I also like the look he is giving the other nearby bears. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Very handsome bear, and it stands out quite nicely from the background.  I can see why you like this one, Jerry.

Gorgeous image!
The large version showcases excellent detail, especially in the fur and rocks.
Perfect comp and light.
My only possible suggestion would be to saturate the red in the fish a bit more, so it is more easily seen.
Just Excellent!

Hey Jerry,
Your Bear Series just keeps getting better and better my friend.
I like Sandy's suggestion about the fish.  laugh

You have to like this one, with great whites against that dark background!  I see no nits, and only thing that may have improved the end result would have been tighter aperture to keep more bear fur in texture focus, but that might have made background detail obtrusive...
