I did in fact use Photoshop LAYERS and several other of its editing features; I trash a lot of my LAYER projects -- they don't always "work" as a unit, but I'm pleased with this one.
Thanks Kavika; I never know for sure if anyone will "connect the dots" the way you have. Compositionally, the vulture is placed more or less parallel to the bear's skull and echos that line; it also keeps the viewer's eye in the frame.
But you took the extra step and related the bear's downward gaze to a possible kill and the subsequent opportunism of the vulture.
You have made me feel as though the image is successful in both form and content.
Your most welcome Mac.Seeing and understanding animals body/eye languageisalways of interest to me. It's kept me alive a few times in my life. Sometime I'll tell you the story of the male black bear me.
Click the pic.
RW,

The griz just found a meal, and the vulture is waiting for left overs.
Great work Mac.

Much thanks for that.
