 Brutus and Buckeye. Two bear cubs rescued from Alaska after being abandoned. They now reside at Jack Hanna's Columbus Zoo. The original cartoon did not have any caption so the image had to support it self. Besides the layer mask all that I adjusted was moving the eyeball to make it appear he is looking at the hunter rather than the other bear (which he really is instead). I also cloned and lightened his teeth to make it look like he is laughing/smiling. The bear paw looks planted but it is actually the natural position as these two were wrestling each other all morning.

+++++++++++++++++++++

That was a fun challenge. Thanks for th e votes.

Great capture, Elliot! I'm certain that it brings smiles and laughter to the viewers, you certainly got me. Well done.

Fab Catch! To make this pic better I would suggest darkening the white of the eyes slightly and matching both the bears' eyes together. Probably should lighten the pupils. That makes the eyes look more real..
Still a very funny shot.. Still makes me laugh like crazy!

Even though I live in bear country I hate the thought of killing them so your photo does evoke a strong feeling of revulsion in me.

Haha the natural expression of his/her (who can tell with bears) mouth really adds comedy to this.

doesn't really work because the cross is on the nose. not sharp enough, too

a bit overdone on the eye unfortunately... a bit of blur might have helped...

Aside from that, the first thing that popped into my mind was capturing a secret momement of intimacy and a guilty look of being 'caught'...

Still a decent capture. I'm quite surprised at the number of bear shots in this challenge.
