Jimbob - I think he's got his eye on lunch - you might want to step back from the exhibit rail! lol Pasting in the 'new' sky does add contrast to show off the polar bear, though the edges are quite sharp as a result. Did you feather the edges in PS? Thad

The background really suits this shot and I bet it would suit the bear as well. You are very good at ciphering (adding) Jethro. Must be that 6th grade education.
Wow, he actually looks a bit disturbed by something..you? or? He's probably had enough of photographers and others eh?!! I love the photo tho. Nice job on your being brave!! Let's hope he can't climb and higher or over that wall!! Verena
I like the bear. I like the sky. But perhaps the lighting on the bear could've been dimmed, or softened a bit to not so greatly contrast with the sky behind it. Or perhaps, lighten the sky a bit?
Excellent job in that of replacing the sky ... and, of course, the polar bear has lots of detail too. Gives me the feel that you captured this one at the Artic Circle or North Pole. Very well done Jim.
