Great techs and fine capture.  I would have liked to see this one as a vertical with all of the reflection!

Jerry, I agree that the details showing off the wet fir look very good.  The pose, the reflections and the rocks make a fine scene.

Love the fur detail on this one Jerry. I also agree with Lon that more of the reflection would be nice to see.

Hi Jerry,
Looks like you had a great time in the GBR (I love it there).  I have a sense this image could have been much improved if you were lower to the ground.  It appear you are looking down on the bear slightly.  And I agree a vertical shot would have been interesting due to the pose.
