Brown bears--two interpretations

So here are some side by side comparisons of bear shots using the same bears in the same positions. In the first set the photos are the same bear in roughly the same spot about 1 year apart. The first is a crisp focus with a little tilt shift added. The second is a long exposure.

I really like them all. The long exposure versions really give them the Fine Art advantage. Well done!

Well done.

Very nice long exposure looks!

I'll add my "like the long exposure look" comment to the others. Boy, he really gets right in that water doesn't he?

Has anyone said they like the long exposures?

Very nice.

I do

Very nice series.

Nice set. I prefer the long exposures, un-decided as to which as they all are very good. Nothing wrong with the short exposure images either.

lovely

All are excellent but I'm going to swim against the tide, I like the shorties better. Great captures.

Im with Craig, great job on all Drew

Great stuff. How did you manage the long exposures?

Great looking set
