This picture comes from China. Just before climbing the Great Wall, I found there were wells with black bears begging apples from tourists. This one was a bit slow in catching them and kept missing the fruit, but he/she was very photogenic. I took the picture with an Olympus C750UZ in JPG format without a tripod. Other technical information: Focal Length 45 mm. Aperture F/3.2, Exposure 1/200sec. ISO-200. I sharpened the picture, re-sized and framed using Photoshop, and my new discovery photoshop's actions.

Zafra - ease up on the number of frames and it'd be a REALLY beautiful shot. I think you've over done the new found skill of framing in PS

I also think this would look good as a nice B&W conversion.

I agree with Geoff. Beautiful shot, but the frames are irritating.

I think the original would have been quite nice, but I don't like the cut-out of the bear, it's made the edges fuzzy/glowing.

The frame has an error in it the left hand top corner as well, Yes I would like to see this as a BW conversion

Thank you for your comments and yest the framing was a touch overdone. Following you advice here it is the B&W image

Much better! Nice shot.
