Island Grizzly

Very nice shot, I really like the grass hanging out of his mouth. Great pose he's giving you, too!

To me the water looks like there might be a little too much contrast compared to everything else, I don't know if the water was really like that or if it happened in post processing, but other than that a great image.

Thanks for your comment Jenaya. The water was actually that blue, that being one of the things that attracted my attention to composing this image. I have done no post processing to this image, only a slight crop from the top.
Thanks again, cheers

Wow, never seen water that blue!

nice moment, but looks over saturated (especially water, may be filter or post process),it give me feelings like the water is from different frame other that strong shot .....

That is such a cool thing to witness and capture. I am with the others on the saturation of water. While it may be true to the scene, it is very difficult for someone who wasn't there to accept and appreciate (without you commentary). Ive been through the same when photographing sheep at high altitudes.
There seem to be some serious artifacts most likely due to compression. There seem to be repeating "rectangular wireframe" patterns particularly visible on the bear. There also seems to be a little strip at the top of the frame.

Wow, Darren this image really pops off my screen! This is a very striking image, even if it were not so saturated. I find this very interesting with that water in the FG and makes me imagine how the entire wider scene would be like. Even if the water was this blue, however, I would still consider reducing the saturation a little as it is too overpowering. Further to improve this I suggest to crop a tiny sliver off the top to eliminate the green edge.

Darren, I love the colour contrasts here...but do wish for better light on the eyes...
Perhaps as Vincent noted drop the saturation (specifically blue/cyan) just a tad?

I like the simple, graphic nature of the composition and the pose in grass surrounding by water is interesting. I, too, feel the saturation is unnaturally high, especially the blue tones.

Wow! Now those are three bold colours you've got going on in this picture Darren, makes for a very stroking image indeed! :^)

If this were mine, I think I'd crop the thin sliver of (what appears to be land) from the upper edge and then add some more canvas from the blue water below.
