RAW and converted to cloudy to increase warmness of the image, increase saturation a little, sharpen.

Great animal shot. I think it is better suited for another category.

this is a great shot, I wonder how it would have been if you could have gotten him to look right at you.

Composition is good. Wish there was a bit more contrast. Background is really bright. The focus on the bear is good. Beautiful fur.

Neat coloration. Nose is a little soft. I would have tried editing a little more contrast.

great bear - is it seasonal because he's fishing, swimming?

good shot. (tip - wait around for when the bear gets out of the water. they shake violently and it can be a great shot. I got one accidentially one time at a zoo)

Beautiful photo. He has such gentle looking eyes. The color is rich and I like how his fur darkens where its wet.
