Bear is nicely in focus, but maybe zoomed in a bit too close. It would be nice to see what it's looking at if possible. Also a little more space on the left would be nice. Those are small things. The main problem I see is that it is way over-exposed. The detail in the water to the right of the bear is completely blown out.

However, considering that it is a large bear and there doesn't appear to be anything between you and it, it's a nice capture. In my opinion, fixing any or all of those things above could/would have made it better.

I agree about the overexposure. Fortunately it's something you can easily fix. I used Lightroom and the auto tone setting and it mostly fixed the problems. I messed around with it on my own computer and was able to clone out the rock in the water near her hind leg. I think taking it out is an improvement. The brown color of the rock is so close to the color of the bear that it looks like some weird thing growing out of her. Just a thought.

thank you, for your help can you post what you did so I can see it. I thought the same thing about the funny looking stomach. I kept thinking it was a rock she was going over but looking at it closely I believe its blubber on her/him. Thanks so much.

question? is reply the right way to critique a photo. New at this
Great photo , seems a little light and need more area to the left of the subject.
has it been sharpened? looks a little over sharpened to my untrained eye.
nice shot, must have been something to have been there
