Yoesmite Black bear
Was in Yosemite last week and saw a black bear with her two cubs near Glacier point. Though not the greatest time to visit Yosemite but was fortunate to see the bear so close.

I like the poses in all of them, but the color seems way off on my monitor. They are really a monotone yellow. Maybe others will let us know if it is my monitor or yours.

Cool shots, but I'm with Morris. Bears look honey colored to me.

The color is off some but I suspect these are cinnamon-colored black bears. I was in Yosemite two weeks ago and saw a few that were quite honey toned.

Thanks , I didn't do much of post processing , just changed a little bit of contrast in the canon raw processing software.

Like the position of the cub in the first image.

So do I.
That's the strongest of the lot, but I'd be pleased to have any of these images!
As noted, there's a strong color cast on all of them. Should be easy to fix, but I'm not experienced with DPP.
