Lovely Brown Bear Fishing

[drr1531]

Testing software recently got me digging through the files. I'm pretty sure that this is the same bear from the thread that I posted a couple of days ago. She was a beauty but had funny looking ears and one that went awry every once in a while. But not in this sequence.

D4, AF-S 80-400
1/800s f8 ISO1000

1) Beautiful bear

3) I think I was set up where she wanted to sit down and enjoy her meal.

Nice captures. THe fur seems a bit oversharpened to me - sort of too hard instead of furrish. Does that make sense?

Thanks for commenting, Jeff. Yeah broadside shots like no.2 just don't have that much pizazz do they?

Thanks for the comments, Allan. I hadn't deleted the PSD files yet so I went back to make sure. Other than the LR "standard" export sharpening the only one with any sharpening applied is no.3. I did selectively apply what ON1 calls a "sunshine" filter which warms and stretches the histogram. Other than that she's just got a wet, bristly coat. One downside of shooting on a stream is that you rarely get any shots of dry bears.

Thanks for commenting, Karen. I like that shot too. She was really a good looking bear.

For me it's #1 and #3! Just stunning, Dan!

Thanks, Dossy. I like intimate views like no.3. My "style" seems to be trending more in that direction in the past couple of years.
