So still no Spain images yet from me, but another family shot from Finland. Altough this one does not have the pose of my last post the light here is much more enjoyable. Now I'd love to hear which you like better, my former post or this one? Bring it on!
Thank you for looking!
Tech: Sony a700, 300mm @ f4, 1/500th and iso 800.
PS. Looking at the image there seems to be some oversharpening (which is curious since I barely applied any at all) which of course is nowhere to be seen in the original

Looking again, I see that the female and nearest cub are nicely focused, while the left side cub is slightly out of the focus plane. Looking at your techs, I think you could have safely tried a smaller aperature for greater depth of field.
This is a wonderful image in my opinion and agree the light is better than on your former post. Now, if both were mine, at my next outdoor art festival the former image would be shown framed and hung on the display racks. This image would be printed large and offered for sale in the print bin. Both are excellent. However, your former post gets the nod because the bears are less static. I am not sure I would make the same decision if my objective was to get this published in Outdoor Photographer and could only submit one image. At any rate, I have enjoyed looking at both and thank you for sharing them as well and making us think a little bit.

although both are very good images, well done.
