Description
This is a picture I got in Yellowstone a few years ago. It was taken at their wild animal park in West Yellowstone. Of course the animals are caged and the delema was how to make it look like they were in the wild. I was able to fill in the back ground with a cloud effect in grayscale to make it look like they are fighting on the edge of a hilltop during a storm. By adding a starburst directional blur I was able to get the feeling of energy and movement. The bears are actually playing, but it seems like they are fighting. Let me know what you think. I've been posting alot of non-tweeked photos and now I want to play!

Nice work. I appreciate the explanation you gave, and it works well with this photo. I'm not much for manipulating photos either, but this was a cool idea. Cheers... Tim

LOL! Play away!!!! That is so much fun isnt it, just playing around changing and altering. I think you did great!!! Sure they look blurry (radial blur i would think, right) and all but that only adds to the action effect!!! Sweet postwork indeed, i actually thought you caught them in the wild before i read your notes. Have a wonderful day #:O)

This postwork was a great idea, which can also be created by changing the zoom factor when pressing the camera shutter. There is more control over the final result with Kim's idea and this is really excellent!!!
cynlee

I see what you mean, they certainly look like the roam free. Perhaps I will try a "King of the hill - free" after seeing this. Great image!!
kierab
Wow, that effect is almost hard to look at. The movement it imparts is great though. It feels like those bears are about to jump out and grab somebody!
