Excellent stuff Lynn. The colors and sharpness on #2 are great. Love the scene in #4 and the comp on #5.

On the first one, I keep thinking I see something blue on his back. Maybe my eyes are going. Cool shot regardless. The wood duck image is stunning, and I love the pronghorn image. These are all really nice, Lynn.

Love the bear shot, Lynn!

Great set Lynn. I love the colors on that wood duck.
I hope that bear wasn't shot with a wide angle.

Wonderful shots Lynn. That duck simply blows me away. Tremendous color.

Fine wildlife series! The bear is especially striking set amongst the even tones and color of the sagebrush field.
Regarding the bear...you might consider zooming in tight, selecting the eyes and lightening them up a bit to add some 'life' to that magnificent creature.
The duck and the pronghorn are my favorites but all are great! Way to up the size of the creatures in your collection

Wow, that Wood Duck just pops off the screen and screams "Look at me!" Love the Golden Eagle as well, good light on his feathers! The Grizzly pose reminds me of a large Burmese Mountain Dog.
Great series!
Nice stuff. I really like the bear and the Wood Duck.

Nice series, Lynn. The first two are my favorites. I like John's idea about the bear.

@Koveh--thanks for the kind words much appreciated!
@Todd--Eyes are not failing you. He was wet and its the reflection of the sky on his watered down hair. I checked the other photos---it all changes depending on what direction he is standing. I didn't even see it :) Thanks too for the kind words.
@ Jesse--Thanks
@Bill--The bear was not taken with a wide angle but it was crazy close :) 30 yards and closing. Long story :)
@ Rod---Thanks
@John---I took another shot at the eyes on the bear--it helps! Thanks for the pointer and the kind words!
@Aleksandra---There was a slight change in contrasting sizes---macros to bears :)
@Don and Morris---Appreciate the kind words.
Paul and John here is the new version with the eyes lightened a bit.

Well, that makes a huge difference, in my view.
Well done all the way around, Lynn!

Nice images! Like that golden eagle image!

The antelope against the sunny slope is nice. Might reduce the blue cast to make his hair whiter and tanner.
