Thanks for all your comments. I really should have taken the knife out for a few shots. I agree that it could have been better without the blade, but I got all tied up in the struggle thing, when a simpler shot would do. Live & learn...

I think it would have been better without the knife. Does not seem to fit. Still a very nice shot.

I'd like to see an angle where the bear isn't being affraid of a little toad stabber.

Nice try...but didn't quite make it.

Interesting. I like the bear quite a bit, but the knife (although important to your theme) takes something away from the image to me. Great use of light and negative space.

It's not very appealing ... sorry.

The pocket knife doesn't bring much to the party. The bear is interesting, however.
