Pretty cool Kamtchatka Brownie

Hi all ...
another shot of the far east Bears , captured at a river that was flowing into the Kuril Lake .
I quite liked the behavior of the bear , just before he even climbed the tree ..... which really surprised me.
There have been a ton of distractions in the frame , which I removed with generative AI .....

Canon EOS 1Dx II
EF 200 - 400 IS L at 300 mm

THX for looking and commenting to my previous postings

I like the image from a compositional and feature POV. I am sensing some different style of processing, the background looks a little gritty, the light on the bear and it's immediate periphery looks brighter than the surroundings. Your AI works well a pleasing image.

THX Jon ... LOL about you referring to my AI work
This was indeed processed a bit more , as in the original capture I did not like the overall lighting etc ... but liked the posing subject . The grittiness is in the capture ... I might have worked on it ???
Glad you still like it as presented , if I get you right ?!

Cheers Andreas
