 I guess some people won't see "QUIT" in this picture, but I do and I want to try it in this challenge. This young girl looks very sad. She resides in a bear park nearby, and she has two small boys. She looked very sad and depressed when my girlfreind and I came to visit her, and I got this photo of her.

I don't think she is as miserable as she looks. They take realy good care of her and the other bears in this park, and after feeding time they open gates to a very large area where they can wander freely. I guess she is kinda tired of screaming kids and parents pointing at her and her boys. Who wouldn't be? This park is actually quite important to Norway, as there are not many bears left.

When it comes to the editing, I just started to wonder if it had been better in it's original colors. I'm really bad at black and white...

I'm sorry, I'm just not getting the connection to the challenge. Is it just me or are the eyes still brown... selective desat? Might just be me, I can't tell.

I really don't see the quiting here and the fence is too distracting

I feel sorry for this bear, if it was advanced editiing and the eye was saturated this would be a very good image 5/10
