To nitpick.. I would darken the branch in front or vignette to get the viewer’s focus on the eye a little more (more dark-moody image).

Overall a good picture!

A more subtle boost in both might work better.

I understand how challenging self-driving can be.. especially when you’re trying to find the right shooting angles with other vehicles around. It’s definitely not easy. Because of that.. the composition doesn’t quite work for me…

Description / Information about the Image – I captured this image of a grizzly from inside a vehicle, using the car as a safe and stable shooting position.

I was already at max zoom, and with the mother so close by… I didn’t want to risk getting closer. A wider shot crossed my mind, but the background was quite distracting… so I went for a tighter frame…

Conditions/Thought process:

Partially sunny day, driving around looking for wildlife, spotted a grizzly mom with her cub. Shot taken from the car as getting out is not advisable 🙂 , though light was not perfect, it helps add softeness to this image which I like.

Lens restricted me to f8, I wish I could open it up more…
