The second & third picture look like they was layer together.
When I blow then up I see white pic around part of the jacket.

These photos are real and the bears are wild.

Nice shots but I wouldn't make a habit of getting too close!

I was told by a wildlife guide if they attack you, just throw some S**t in their face. I asked what if there isn't any S**t, he said believe me if they attack there will be some! :lol: :lol: :thumbup:
I would not know because when I was charged by a Grizz (total of 4 times by two different bears) I was too busy photographing to realize I was supposed to let my bowels go. :lol: But a lady behind me peed her pants.Thanks.

it's how bears always have fresh food available - and no refrigeration needed!
Thanks :lol:

What I did is selective sharpening because the foreground person/persons were not exactly in focus due to the very shallow DOF=low light levels,wide open lens(the focus was on the bear).So during PP I selected the people by using magnetic lasso and sharpened them separately from the bear which did not need that much.Is that what you are referring to? I am not aware of any "white pic around part of the jacket".If you doubt these photos are authentic give me your email address and I will gladly send you the unprocessed originals with Exif.Thanks.

Cute little teddy bears, alaskan! :) We also used to go to the dumps in Canada to watch and photograph the bears. Don't know if I'd go that close today... You got some really beautiful pictures, though!

These are not dump bears but "fisherbears" near a salmon stream.Thank you for looking and your comment.
