Indeed it is. The colors of Aurora Borealis. Really interesting these reflections on the bears. The do look good. Exchanging the background makes a great difference. The background is much better now, emphasizing the fluorescent glow.

    Hi Cleo85! Thank you for your comments...I wish I could have tried other things, but they MADE me sign on to the playoffs, they didn't have anyone else...i didn't plan on this...so I am not too happy, My photos are just too hastily done, no time to experiment...but I will try something else for bckg. before I promote it, if I ever do! Sorry, I havnt been able to catch up, might have to delete all my 100 replies I have to do, and start over again. My apologies. Thanks for your input...

    By the way, thank you for bringing my attention to the blackgroud, I see pure black, but more than once I have heard the background is off and distracting from others as well. I looked into it, found a problem, and hopefully, fixed it. I hope it looks better on your computer and others, cause mine is jet black. Could you please let me know if the background is solid black now? Whenever you get a chance,thank you!

    Yes, the background is black now. It looks much better. I have changed my review and my rating accordingly. You may nee to have your computer calibrated.
Comment from Old Redeye


I love the way the lighting models the form of the bears. Nice staging. It looks like a mother protecting her cub. The subtle color blending is very interesting and, of course, the black background creates the perfect contrast. Thanks for sharing.

THE PICTURE IS SUPER NICE LOVE THE LIGHTING. WHEN FILLING BACK GROUND MAKE SURE THE COLOR IS MACH ALL AROUND BECAUSE LIKE HOW IS NOW THE OBJECTIVE SHOULD BE DE BEARS BUT DE MACH COLOR OF THE BACK GROUND CALL THE ATTENTION OF THE VEAR.
