Very nice Craig. I like the empty space a lot, and the graphic effect on the cliffs behind is superb. Do you have the top of the hill behind top right in the frame? Just curious. I really really like these wildlife landscapes I have to say. Empty space is really important and it really adds to the feel of this image.

Really like this Craig. Makes even a polar bear look small in this landscape!! Not sure if the bottom half of the pics wants lightening slightly. Great image though and one that i would have love to have been there and taken myself. Cheers, Ian :toast: :toast: :toast:

Hi :wavey:

very nice shot and the conversion suits it :toast:

I would have liked to have seen the top of the mountian in the shot but no big deal

Certainly puts things into perspective Craig. A very nice B&W image. Agree with Ian re the top of the mountain but as he says no big deal. :wavey:

For me I think I'd have preferred the bear much further towards the top of the frame Craig, with nothing but snow slope in the rest of the frame.

But hey, that's just me :wink:

I think it is superb just the way it is, Craig. One to be proud of.

Hi Craig

I really like this this, the mono works really well and it looks like a stunning environment. I also think that it is an unusual composition with lots of space at the bottom but this is to be commended as it works.

Good stuff

Andy
