This is a great photo. I love how close you got to the bear. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all very good. Well done! You did a great job :) Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks very much! With a 300mm lens and a little cropping, it looks closer than it was.

Oh, well i guess that is a good thing lol. I don't think i would want to get that close to a bear. Your welcome :)

What a great portrait of the black bear. I am hoping you used a telephoto lens to capture this beautiful creature. Nice sharp focus on the bear. Nice lighting. Good job on the background. Nicely done. Good luck!
