Didnt post it but this one i liked so i downloaded it and had a play,there is more you could pull out if you want.

Go ahead and post it, I'd be interested to see. PP is something I know very little about, moving a few sliders is all I do and even then I don't really know what I'm doing.

@mikew what software do you use?

I'm looking at PhotoDirector6 as I can get an upgrade apparently for £34.99. I believe it is somewhat comparable to Lightroom but I've not used either.

I saw this guy across a large open field and was not sure if it was a Black Bear (Cinnamon phase) or a Grizzly as we have a lot of both in this area. After a long and sweaty stalk I got as close as I dared. At that point he stood up having spotted me. I brought the camera up and started firing shots anticipating having to turn and run. It was not until my heartbeat returned to normal and I was safely at a distance, I got a chance to look at the shots. Guess who had forgotten to zoom from 70 to 300?

It's not much of a shot but I'm going to post it anyway because I worked for it and I like it.

Did you decide which it was? From my safe viewing seat in front of my laptop it looks like a black bear to me. But an armchair is also where I have got most of my bear knowledge so I could easily be wrong.

A general consensus here is that it's a Black Bear, decided largely on the shape of the head. I imagine that we will be seeing more of him through the Spring and Summer since they tend to be territorial.

Had my first outing today, I was the one who looked like a rabbit caught in headlights, fumbling around like a newbie haha, hopefully I will not freeze and panic so much when I see my next wild creature
