It is not grainy at all, at least at this size. I really like the contrast between the dark foreground and lighter background. Also, the addition of the bear at the very bottom of the image is a nice, albeit unintentional(I assume) touch!!
Thanks you guys. Always helpful. Kind of liked the textured charcoal look that this had. Tried to keep the contrast controlled to prevent blowout with the hazy conditions.
An excellent interpretation, Brian- as is.
Interesting about the unmentioned inclusion of the grizzly (and baby?). You just decided not to mention it to us, right?
