Great shot John - the bear looks like it's sitting on someone's lawn, excellent detail though. :wink:

Pretty cute expression on this guy! Very nice detail in his fur. I really like the way his wet fur looks. It's so good to have a dark Grizzly in the middle of green grass, it sure makes them easy to spot :wink: ! Awesome image, John!

Interesting image John. What strikes me is that no limbs are visible (discernible). I love the fur detail on the head. A very pleasing image to view.

Great detail in the bear. Like the wet fur and the green surrounding the bear.
