This is a black bear in long grass. I like subtle shots, although they're more difficult to pull off than a critter in the open type image.

Hey Tim,

I like these kinds of shots too -- though perhaps I'd like to see a little more of the bear than I do here. Those ears sure give away what species he is.

Had a great trip man, and I look forward to seeing you guys and shooting together again next year.

Cheers

Carl

They certainly take a good eye and skill to pull off Tim! In this image you show a clear mastery of both!!

Wonderful shot. I love it!!

I really like this kind too.
Well done, but I'd like a bit more contrast...
BTW, great shot!

Well done. It is identifiable as a bear.

I like it! something different indeed. This works well, I think at least in part because the grass in front is fairly uniform in density and softness forming a sort of veil.

Congrats Tim.. Way to go out of the box... I like it also with a little off of the top, blue gone, to the top of the grass..

I like this one a lot, Tim! It has a soft misty look to it and I love the bits of sharply focused grass. The colors of the grass highlight the colors of the bear. I like the bit of blue at the top, myself.
