This little bear belonged to my great grandmother. It's pretty small - it's only about 3 inches high.
This might be a bit of a stretch for a portrait challenge, but I guess I'll just have to see how it does...:)

Burning and doging, selective color, unsharp mask, crop, resize and save for web.

I remembered this during the challenge! I loved how you gave life and personality to the toy. The color tone is a nice choice.

I just read that it was a wee little bear that belonged to your grandmother. Maybe have the bear holding a wee little photo of your grandmother? I think that would be a perfect photo to add to the family album.

I think this shot really did suffer from not exactly fitting the challenge. However it is a very nice photo with a great warm color.

I feel like there's something missing. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe if the bear was holding a fresh flower cutting? Something to give the photo just a little more interest and personality.

I liked this idea - no one ever said it had to be a human portrait. Anyway, I was hoping that people wouldn't be so cynical. Its lovely, I like the colors and the soft focus.
