composition is good, the subject is pissed off, and overall a nice image.. exept for that blown out stripe that is behind the bear, it's really bad for the picture...

Crop, crop, crop. You captured an awesome expression, and fit the challenge perfectly. Maybe shifting your position around to avaoid some of that green would have helped more. |

As I'm sure everyone's pointed out, the background does hurt this entry - but you probably couldn't avoid it. He's got a great expression, meets challenge well (with a bit of license with the bears lol, but that doesn't bother me. The composition works fine for me, although possibly a little tight on the left hand side. (of course i don't know what was out there though)
I think this could do with a touch more contrast and a tiny bit of sharpening to make it less "zoo snapshot"-ey. When entering zoo shots you are in danger of people being turned off - imho you need a bit more 'punch' to make more of an impact.

Heh! You seem to do really well with the humorous pictures! Great shot to go with the caption/title. Biggest problem is the fence top behind the bear which is blown and pulls the eye away from the bear. A tighter crop keeping the log just beyond his foot "whole" would compensate a bit. The expression you captured is priceless! |

Again, that big horizontal line hurts you. I like this shot, and I like the bear's expression. I'm not "anti zoo shot", I just like to see really well done zoo shots. You've come very close here. A tighter crop, I think, would have been an improvement. |

| Good idea and nice capture. It's not easy to freeze the moment for the photo. I like the crop because the row of logs adds to the picture (it is, after all, the bed). I tighter crop would have been about a bear growling. Instead, you have a bear waking up. The story gets told doing it your way. Nice photo. |

| I would get to close to that one. I would have liked to see more space to the left of the bear instead of the right. We read picture from the left to the right and the bear stops me right away. Just an idea. Good luck :) |

Ha-- Made me grin--
Its a good photo, but the green behind is too bright..
Also would have cropped a little off both the right and left,a couple of little things are creeping into the frame. |

This would probably be nicer and more potent if it were cropped in much tighter to the bear's face. Looks a bit too much like a zoo pic with this DOF too.. Probably not much you could do about that though.
I would like to see more of the bear's face.
It might even be worthwhile to use a square crop and leave off the somewhat relaxed looking back foot to make it look more like the bear is climbing over a log barrier or something? |

| Wow, good capture! The green bar across the bear's back back is a little distracting for me, but I dont see how you couldve prevented that from this angle. Nice shot. |
