He doesnt look dangerous! They are so cuddly and nice and loving. Lol. Very cool shot!

Thanks MnMCarta for your comment. Yet, I must add no matter how cuddly they may look I wouldn't like to be close to one of these guys. They are said to have a really bad temper and a reputation as well.

Ursus the mighty one! A good picture in the sense that it underscores the physical strength of the animal, as it stands on its two hind feet.

Those claws aren't for cuddling

Those look like some big boys...I wonder who's job it was to put that Christmas wreath there. "Hey Sam... You've been coming in late a lot lately. Take this wreath out there!"

you said it all kyricom.

Hey they;re not all that mean after all. Watch this for a change http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/29/man-and-crocodile-chito-a_n_742427.html. Well captured, author.

They only look mean... really you can walk right up to them and pet them and walk them and feed them.

Quite pixalated, but still beautiful. Guess you didn't want to get too close. Great shot though.

It was with a low resolution point and shoot fully zoomed. It really looks that pixelated?

It looks fine to me on a 19" monitor at Hi-Res...There is some color noise, but that's almost a given with point and shoot cameras.

Definitely not your average "zoo photo." Nicely done!

Now THAT'S a hood ornament !!!

I'm seeing some colour noise but not pixelated. Nothing that can't be removed with Noise removal software (although probaly at the expense of detail)

This looks a bit too low contrast and kind of grayed out. There's no real depth to the trees and the sky looks overcast, even though you can see some blue in it.

I know what you're saying, but I tried to give it a more Icey look, by taking away a bit of the colour. Just hope you like it

Author, I can see where you are coming from, but I'm not sure it works. Your photo has got the look of an old faded photo.

i totally disagree with MossyB and Friis....this is a very nice photo well processed. i can see you have a good cross processing skills to create that mood....without these type of knowledge this photo will be another typical snapshot in the zoo.

He needs snow and ice
