Now call me an irritation here - but your title belittles this shot. It's great - and it doesn't need a comedy caption - well maybe soomething like "Now where's my E45 cracked heel cream?" or "Pew - smells like I've stepped in something.".
Well captured and I'll be interested to hear what you did to get so close here. I assume he's not wild but you never know!
This is a great shot - I like the detailed texture in the bottom of the foot. I like the soft hues of brown yellow and green that give a very natural relaxed feel. I like the nice touch of the distinct geenery frmaing the bottom of the picture.
Beautiful rich and saturated colors and I love the texture of the fur! DOF is fantastic as well and really helps to isolate the bear. Perhaps some fill light to help illuminate the paw? Great job overall. High score.
