Such a cute submission into the contest. A beautiful depiction of a black bear tolerating a butterfly on his nose. A realistic submission to the contest, Good luck.

Wow this bear is needle felted and three-dimensional. I'm very impressed. I really like that. You took him out to the park and took this wonderful portrait of him. That took time, patience and lots of creativity on your part. You have a wonderful scene here. And a very enjoyable one at that.

    Thank you so much! I kept having dogs come over to sniff it too when I was trying to pose her, haha.

Wow, this is a wonderful sculpture that any artist would be very proud of.
The details and coloring are well presented in the photo and the overall presentation is fun to view.

Hi Petra, Welcome to FAR! Hope you enjoy your stay here! :o)
I think it's so cool that you do sculptures like this and then place them in a natural setting! Love the little bear with the butterfly on his ear. The bear almost look real. Love the detail and the whole look! You did an amazing job! I actually thought the bear was real when I first saw it! Very nicely done!

Hi Petra,
I love this, he's such a cutie and beautifully made!
And very well done for posting something different - so many paintings, drawings and AI on FAR it's a real treat to see someone using a different medium - and using it well!
Was the grass in the park particularly short or is your bear pretty big? I can't tell! Lol But she looks quite big - oh please tell me the measurements :)
Very, very well made - I know this type of sculpture is quite tricky - I'm impressed. Keep up the good work and please keep posting this (or any other) kind of different artwork, it's so refreshing.
Charlotte

    Oh my gosh you’re going to make me cry! Thank you so much for your awesome review! She fits in my hand so like about 4 or 5 inches tall?

    Oh please don't cry!!! I'll give you a nasty review next time if you'd prefer??!! LOL
    Oh so she is the size one would expect, but the grass makes her look so much bigger - I even tried calculating the size in comparrison to the seed heads in the foreground...evidently incorrectly! Lol
    You're very welcome indeed, it was such a pleasure to see someone coming up with some new ideas - and I think that should be taken into consideration, especailly in contests, but of course it never is and the same old same old continues to do well...so boring! :)

A very adorable visual presented here of this black bear, wonderful butterfly and foliage. Composition shades, tones, and presentation is very well done. Thank you for sharing.

That is cool. Your bear and butterfly creation is great. The setup is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of the bear and butterfly is great. The presentation is balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall

An impressive photograph of nature! The black bear and the butterfly are beautifully and realistically made and grab the eyes! The framing is thoughtfully executed, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours enhances the overall composition. Good luck!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of your well created, synthetic bear and insect. Well created and good luck!
