Vantage Point

This is the third image from my brown bear series in National Geographic (Dutch edition), which was used as the opening shot for the article. This young bear cub rocketed up a tree when it heard another bear approaching. The obvious choice here was to make a vertical composition to emphasize the vertical direction and the height of the trees, but I preferred to use the different layers of tree trunks in combination with shallow dof.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
