Once again, thanks to all of you who chimed in with your comments and suggestions. Below is the final version and the end of this post series – time to get back to other imagery. Final because it is time to move on to other pressing projects. Final because I think it is better than before. I did enlarge the image so the bears were bigger, which lost some of the variation in the clouds, which I think is a cool part of the entire image, but with all the text overlay you lose a lot of that anyway. It general, I think it is simpler, cleaner, stronger and more bold – fitting for both Alaska and the cover subjects. This will arrive in AK in early 2012 so it can reach markets for the summer tourist season. As for 2012, well that calendar, with a polar bear cover also, can be seen here.
