 Another image from the DPC/Bronx Zoo get together- the same group of photos as my Wildlife entry. The bears were doing "tricks" at feeding time and this one kept grabbing her paws. I was shooting handheld on a cloudy day with a 70-200mm f/4L lens and 1.4x teleconverter at about 332mm, so I was pretty lucky with the sharpness.

This was one of only three shots I happened to take in RAW all day, so I had more flexibility with the white balance and exposure. I shifted the color away from my Wildlife entry to keep people from making the connection. Processing details: Shadow/Highlight filter, levels, USM, HSL and slight crop.

About 10 minutes after the deadline, I slapped my head over what should have been the obvious title:

"Yoga Bear."

I saw it among pictures from the zoo. Love the pose of the bear. Since you cropped that image anyway, I would've leave the left foot with the paw. Let somebody guess what is it ;P 7.

You're either very brave, completely mad or have a good lens to get this close to a bear. Lovely shot.
