Short bear or tall tripod? What happened next?

Great shot Steve!  This would be good for a caption competition - my thought was ''is this my best side?''  :D

I admire your coolness Steve in this situation.
He is making sure that your lens is in perfect shape.
Great action shot.

I knew it, bears like Canon :-)

Fantastic shot. Very funny and interesting situation.
I hope the bear didn't knock it over after you took the shot.

Glad you were cool enough to get the shot- I think I'd have been more than a little concerned about it going over! Hopefully he was gentle. Great story, fun image.
