Probably a final posting....both traditional processing and some monochrome, white on white.
I really don't think I've ever enjoyed processing images as much as I have this collection of bears...if this is a once in a lifetime sighting then I am satisfied to have been so fortunate to have spent the time in their presence.
Thank you all so much for the support you have shown for this series.

Hi Eric...
Absolutely beautiful in every respect. I can tell you've put a great deal of time, effort and your emotions into these photographs from experiencing your subjects in person to the final processing.

Oh Eric, another truly remarkable set. What wonderful tender moments and interactions you have captured. Certainly you will treasure the memories from your trip forever !
I personally prefer your traditional processing . The color difference in the fur between the mother and cubs are part of the story and feel of the images for me

Simply awesome work and I am sure that it was an off the chart experiencing following these magnificent creatures. Thank you for sharing these inspiring images.

To actually witness all this with your own eyes has to be the thrill of a lifetime. And then to photograph them and do such a great job is to me beyond words.
All I can say is WOW!

Wow Eric! I just keep coming back to your (and Don's) posts! I don't know how you could top these, the interaction of mom with the cubs has to be a once in a lifetime experience. Congratulations! (and let me know if you are going to do it again. )
