Fred Bear makes another appearance as a model in another attempt to bring humour into DPC. I know stuffed toys don't do well but this was fun to do - and the model rates were cheap, too!
Shot in the kitchen using a Vivitar 283 off camera with a LightSphere II sans dome for the lighting. Flash off to the left and above the subject.
No bears were hurt in the making of this shot.

This is such an adorable shot!! I love the concept and I really like the colors and composition. It's so neat how the blue is reflecting in the toaster, bringing your composition some extra impact. I think that it has a bit of an overprocessed look to it, as the background looks very flat and the bears head looks very sharpened. I might not be explaining things well but I want to at least try to put into words what I would have noticed if I had voted in this challenge. When I look at it now though all I can think of is OH HOW CUTE!!
Hi Carl, I didn't enter this challenge but when I checked the entries and saw this one I immediately thought of you. Great lighting, crisp colours, cute subject ;-)
