A right-facing head and long muzzle sit among bright plants and darker evergreen branches, with fine fur and small purple flowers adding detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bear looks to the right, its head framed by bright green plants and darker evergreen branches. I photographed this Alaska brown bear in 2011, and what holds my attention is the combination of a strong, clearly defined face and the soft vegetation around it. The image gives the animal a substantial presence without removing it from its leafy setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long muzzle, dark nose and visible eye form a gentle diagonal through the frame. Fine strands of pale brown fur pick up the light across the head and cheek. In front, stems and leaves overlap the lower part of the animal, while a few purple flowers introduce a small change of colour near its nose. I enjoy those layers because they make the portrait feel embedded in the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen occupies much of the photograph, ranging from the fresh leaves in the foreground to the deeper tones behind the ears. Against that setting, the bear’s warm coat stands out naturally. The square composition brings the face and foliage into close balance: there is space in the direction of the gaze, with the body continuing beyond the opposite edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would choose this photograph for a room where wildlife can bring both character and colour. The bear is the immediate subject, but the surrounding plants give the image a softer atmosphere. For me, its lasting appeal lies in the face seen from this angle, the texture of the fur and the small details of greenery that frame it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2011\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40739307683919,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40739307716687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40739307814991,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40739307749455,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602044518479,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40739307782223,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185218461775,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Alaska-Brown-Bear-Head-Among-Green-Plants-Colour-Wildlife-Photography-1b.jpg?v=1791395928","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/large-brown-bear-headshot-in-alaska","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
