I didn't realize how close the colors were until I started processing. I've done very little PS on this shot, by the way -- only slight cropping (right edge cropped off), curves, and sharpening. I didn't even mask the background from the sharpen filter because it's so creamy already. -- Victor

This is a wonderfully charming shot, Victor! Perfect focus on the bear's expressive eye and lovely soft bokeh in both foreground and background. It is marvelous that the colors of the bear and plant go together so well. Good work! ~Sharon
