Dave,
thanks for your comment on my beach entry and I would give a comment back. The first thing I looked at was your file size and that it was 84 kb and thought you might want to see this tutorial for photoshop on how to prepare image for submission. Your small details would much smoother if your file size was closer to the 150 kb size limit. I really think it is a cool way that you shot the photo too! I appreciate your comment, thanks again.

Great job! I'm usually not big into wildlife shots, but this one is very nice. Hope you had a tele lens and took this from a distance. Anyway, good capture of life in the wild. Raising original score from a 4 to a 6. Originally, I didn't classify this as a beach photo, I thought it was a roadway. But it appears to be a beach afterall.
Focus is soft but the mirrored action of the bears creates an interest. Main subject could have been slightly lower to remove the top heavy appearance. Nice take.
