I photographed this Black Bear feeding in horsetails near Whistler, BC this spring. I think it's considered a Cinnamon color phase. This was taken from my car window, horizontal cropped to vertical.

Clicking on this to bring in the darker surround shows it off beautifully. Superb detail in this fine portrait Nate especially the eyes - which isn't easy with bears!

There is such a luminous quality to this image, the greens positively glow. Lovely!
