Teddy Bear

Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 20 July 2007 in Animal & Insect.

This little fella was resting peacefully until i distracted him and he looked around in shock. Very very cute fella.

He was so happy with me that later he walked to me, to gimme a teddy bear hug. Will post that picture tomorrow. ;-)

Cheers and have a great weekend friends.

Beautiful textures and stark contrasts Rahul - is it a Sun Bear? I saw them in a zoo in Thailand. It looks sad with its paws and face hanging low! cheers Bron

@MaryB: I learnt it from you Mary, on how to trick them to pose. LOL!!!! You are more a charmer than me hahaha.... Check out tomorrow how he approached for the teddy bear hug. LOL!!!!

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Now how did you get him to pose for you like that? Did you slip him a little honey? LOL Great shot Rahul...really great shot

@Jen: Haha.... I just screamed in something they understand, and he just got up and looked at me. And i was just ready with my camera, though it was kinda difficult to focus due to bad lighting there and black all over. Had i shown him honey, he would have walked back home with me. :)

Dave from United Kingdom

Great pose, nicely framed. I'd crop off the bottom just under the feet to get rid of the burnt out rock, I don't think you'd lose anything by doing that. Pip, pip.:)
Hopefully you can go back on a brighter day so you can use a lower iso(as a rule I never go over iso400).

@Dave: Thanks Dave, i did think of cropping it, but then just left it as it is. The lights were bad so ISO 800, and i dont fear using ISO 800 as Nikon's dont really produce so much grain compared to other brands for some reason, and i like that feature in Nikon.

priya from ON, Canada

He either needs a hug from you or waiting to go home with ya;)

@priya: Well you can see tomorrow all the love in his eyes. LOL!!!!! Thanks Priya for always pulling my leg and making me smile hehehe....

Julia from Vancouver, Canada

I can't wait to see you hugged by this oversized Teddy:)

@Julia: Haha... Julia, just another few hours and you can see my tomorrow's shot which has him with all the love in his eyes, and that "Hug Me Now" look, trying to trick me. LOL!!!! He was one of the most cool teddy i ever saw.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

I think he looks very cute, got that funny shocked look on his face, like you caught him doing something naughty

@Richard_Irwin: Nah bro, he was just relaxing and was kinda stunned by the funny noise i made to grab its attention and get him to walk to me. ;-)
