Morning Black Bear

Another bear photo to add to the collection. This one was in Banff last month very early in the morning, I'm enjoying the low light abilities of the 7D. I liked the way it was looking off into the distance, completely ignoring us even though we were quite close. C&C always welcome, thanks for looking.

Some are likely going to suggest a bit more space for "virtual" feet. I find this nice, however and my suggestion would be to tweak the post processing to make sure you have no sharpening at all on the background to avoid a slight "nervous" effect and to dial down the sharpening on the fur edge along the front legs. Great catchlights in the eyes!

Thanks Lon! I wish there were a bit more room at the bottom as well but there was a pesky road in the way. I'll take a stab at isolating the sharpening to the bear. Thanks again for the suggestions.
