Elan 2 Tamron 400 F4 MF 1.4X

Another old scanned negative. Not as sharp as I would like it, but more sentimental value.

I really like the enviroment here.

To me it looks like you have sharpened the BG too much and not the bears.

Cheers

I like it but there is a pronounced color cast.

Looks like a tough place to shoot with all that brush. I hope you weren't on foot.

This certainly shows the limitation of the old films. It a nice habitat shot and having the cub so close to the sow clearly shows the strong bond between them.

Really nice bg John you might want to try sharpening the bears only ? Would also like to see the camera pointed more right to have the bears more to the left (if conditions permitted)

The light fg with the twigs then tall trees works so well as does the transitional colors !!! I do like this image very much !!!! Congratulations !!

Nice capture of mother and cub John, nits covered - I would just like to see the blue/green cast warmed up a little especially in the lower half of the image.
