Thanks for all your comments. I really should have taken the knife out for a few shots. I agree that it could have been better without the blade, but I got all tied up in the struggle thing, when a simpler shot would do. Live & learn...
Interesting. I like the bear quite a bit, but the knife (although important to your theme) takes something away from the image to me. Great use of light and negative space.
