Black Bear Cub

I haven't posted any bear pics in a while but they are still active and I am still following them around.
Black bear .... dark green leaves .... and of course they know how to stay "backlit"

Working on how best to photograph this situation. I used an off camera flash (also offset / not directly over the lens) with a Better Beamer ...... comments / opinions appreciated.

I like it the way it is, after all the wild things don't usually cooperate when we try to set up the outdoor studio. Take what you can get, and this is a fun photo......;)
You might be able to help it a little in post.......

Why so serious?

I love it! Such a cute expression on his face.

The eye is drawn directly to his face, so it doesn't seem like you're battling with nature. But if you want just a little more "pull", you might try dabbing his eyes with an eye bright tool.

He looks like he wants to pounce.
