A Bit More Curious

I captured this image right after my previous post. Something really got his attention so he decided he needed to stand up to investigate. Because I was not expecting him to do this, I didn't have time to switch the camera to vertical :frown: . I still think the image worked out alright. I especially like how he's leaning to the side, I think it adds some character to the image!

Thanks for lookin'! :wavey:

Nice image; Jenaya. You really captured a great moment of rapt attention and I agree the shift in the stance adds a lot. Well done. Chet

I have no problem with a horizontal composition here. I actually think this one works a bit better for it, since the bear is placed more to the right.

I love this Jenaya and IMO the horizontal framing works very well with this pose and the chosen position in the frame. :toast:
