Hello Mark
Very nice image in wich I love the pose of the bear, leaning on the tree trunk and with a piece of grass to shew on very much.
Pity this is not shot in the wild.
Composition is very good with the tree trunks as a natural frame.
The image seems a little over exposed though.
I did rework the image a little in photoshop.
Hope you like it.
Warm regards and have a nice weekend,
Harry

Hi Mark,
Very fun pic!
Well done,
TFS,
Serge

great composition, TFS ori

Very cute pose. I love him framed by the tree and biting at the grass in front of him.

The tree makes a good natural frame for the bear, making this a striking image. I have to agree that it would benefit from the highlights being toned down a little in something like Photoshop "Curves", and maybe the shadows boosted a tiny bit. Still a striking image.
