Another image from the DPC/Bronx Zoo get together- the same group of photos as my Wildlife entry. The bears were doing "tricks" at feeding time and this one kept grabbing her paws. I was shooting handheld on a cloudy day with a 70-200mm f/4L lens and 1.4x teleconverter at about 332mm, so I was pretty lucky with the sharpness.
This was one of only three shots I happened to take in RAW all day, so I had more flexibility with the white balance and exposure. I shifted the color away from my Wildlife entry to keep people from making the connection. Processing details: Shadow/Highlight filter, levels, USM, HSL and slight crop.

Yoga Bear! lol How could you let that slip by? Doesnt matter, great shot, composition worked out well and I really think this should have placed higher but I see you average is over 6 so I guess its all good! Congrats Shannon.
I saw it among pictures from the zoo. Love the pose of the bear. Since you cropped that image anyway, I would've leave the left foot with the paw. Let somebody guess what is it ;P 7.
