Family Outing, a photo from Alaska, West

Photographer's Note

I had hoped to get the family together for a group portrait, but it seems mom had her hands full just keeping tab on the three kids.

Grizzly bears seem to be the most common bears in Denali. I saw seven grizzlies on this day, but not a single black bear.

This is a cute scene!
It looks like you used some kind of post processing filter, did you? Mom is over exposed but the rest of the crowd and the picture itself has very nice colors.

Nice framing but its too sharp unfortunately. i would smooth it out a little bit.

I hope you were down wind of this family! NIce composition, Ned. Leaving lots of space around the bears puts them into context of their environment. Certainly could use better lighting, but when a shot like this comes up, you take it! NIce seeing!
