WOW! I never noticed that. I was so caught up in processing I never noticed that or the large amount of green in the eye that you brought to my attention before.

I actually think I have a more edited version of this shot where I kind of "cleaned up" some of the little light colored fur in the dark orange areas (it was bugging me). This was my outtake for the zoo challenge. Sadly I couldn't use this because I went to Lion Country Safari the day BEFORE the zoo challenge (I was quite upset).

I do like this shot better. It gives you a little more to look at & I like the composition better. The edges look cool, too.

It gave me the shivers... but it's a great macro!

I think he was looking at you.

I really like your edit, including the crop. I may need to give that plug-in a try. This looks great!

I love the bear in the background and that first one has such a great expression on her face.

His eyes are very very cool but I really love his lips.

It's amazing how his eye blends in with the rest of him... and they're so big! You really did a good job getting the angle to see his face.

He's very majestic looking. Very smart keeping your camera with you at all times. You never know when something like this just appears.

I like the branches that he's sitting on; adds a lot to the shot imo.

VERY very impressive. Hope you had a really long lens and were very far away! You really managed to get great colors u/w. I have a really hard time with that. Good job.
