Just the way the sun was shining on him acted almost like a flash and darkened out the background naturally. All I had to do was lighten up the bear a little -- the background was already prett much like that.
Oooo! Sandy! I love this one! His expression is one of great bear wisdom like he is pondering something important! Beautiful light and shadow! You should make this one a print for all the animal lovers out there.
You kill me with your animal shots. His eyes are perfect. The detail of the fur- perfect. You have such a gift with animals. We are blessed to see what you see through your lens. Happy New Year.
