Ok after more than 24 hrs after coming to terms with this image, I think I can just about try penning some thoughts. First things first.
1) 10/10 for the effort put in to pull this shot through
2) 10/10 for visualization, seeing this image in the dark with closed eyes requires a lot of dedication and expertise, and I don't think the image could have been bettered in any other way. The bear seems to be walking into the light from the darkness, and could be interpreted in multiple ways, and it goes in well with the objective of this site which is all about creative seeing, and if this isnt creative then what is?
I can only wait with bated breath anxious to see what other master pieces we can expect in the coming years. Congrats on this huge success sir
