About the Image(s)
The shot was taken in The Tetons and this is bear 399 - Was taken with a tripod using a 80-400mm lens, Nikon D850 and F7.6, shutter speed 1/200 second.
Image was cropped, adjusted highlights, shadows and denoise.
You can see a grass blade on the nose and a tag on the ear.

It's a nice portrait. I wish there was a bit more of your model on the right side. Otherwise great details. Posted: 11/12/2023 17:14:13
Looks very soft . Maybe benefit from a little more contrast . Consider removing the object on the nose. If you reduce the exposure of the background it would make the bear standout better. Nice idea but could be improved with post processing. Posted: 11/12/2023 21:12:35
Bob, Thank you for your suggestions - I have sold 3 metal (Aluminum) 36x24 prints as well as several other smaller sizes. The image is tack sharp. The grass on the nose appears to be something that I get positive comments on all the time. Posted: 11/12/2023 21:45:32
Ok but it's not sharp on my screen especially around the ears Posted: 11/12/2023 21:47:51
