Refreshment

[Jorne de Bruin]

A refreshing drink is always welcome on a warm summers night in the deep north of Finland.

Nice one Jorne the low perspective is particularly appealing, as is the reflection of course. I'm not sure about the placement of the bear though; it's a bit too centered imo. Also, there is a slight red cast on the tree trunks.

Hi

Overall I really like this image – it has lots of features that are appealing and entertaining to view

Compositionally – I might have tried for a dead central subject placement, and allowed the tree / reflections to create side interest, which they are doing well

All the best

Nice pose. I think this would have worked well as a vertical with the bear and reflection in the bottom left as well.

A very nice setting for this bear!

I'm not too keen on the center bear either but it is nicely framed in the reflection. Hopefully you had time to get more compositions before it moved on.

This is so nice Jorne. I like the reflections of the trees giving a boundary to the image. Good timing to get an interesting pose of the bear.

Placement in the frame works OK for me. Really like the environmental nature of the image and the reflection. Colors are pretty neat too!
