Greetings from the Critique Club and congratulation on your highest scoring picture!
My standard text :)
-------------------
I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. I hope following comments of mine are helpful to you.
Composition :
-------------
Good composition and captured at right moment.You were at right place at right time.
Camera Work :
---------------
Camera work is good. Image seems to be properly exposed. But the focus on bear seems to be little soft.
Post-processing :
-----------------
Okay ...now this needed some serious work on contrast. The image seems to be little flat. Looking at difference between shades of foreground subject and almost even background, proper use of "curves" would have done wonders. Some sharpening might also have helped.
Summary :
----------
Overall an above-average composition. I did not voted for this challenge but I would have also given something between 5-6 which is in line with average score. If this image is properly processed it can really be great "wildlife" picture.
