    Wow that is so cool to get a grizzly in the wild! I would love to go to Yellowstone, the last time we visited Wyoming we were meant to visit but ran out of time.

    I really like #2, very cute. Is it a crop or it that the shot, it looks a fraction over-sharpened to me but I could be wrong, either way its a great shot. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Oh wow. There are people who to Yellowstone just to see a grizzly and never find one. These are great. Love 2 and 3 in particular. Don't know for sure if they are over sharpened, maybe just a tad.

    You could clone out the piece of grass near the eye in the last one. It reminds me of my dog.

    Thank You Liv, Skippy, Wayne, and Monnie. I've been playing around with the unsharp mask in PSE7 and I may have overdone it some. April is a good month for wildlife in Yellowstone where everything is waking up.

    Steve, very nice! I can't pick a favorite because they each say something a bit different to me.
