Seems like you got his attention!!!

Beautiful setting !!!

Sure wish that animal was looking the other way! More negative space and all flowing in that direction!

Actually the more I think about it the more I like it the way it is!!! The bear seems to be a character and it all fits very well !!! Congratulations !!!

You're a braaaaaave man... If this were me, it'd be way too close for comfort. I know when I came upon a sow grizzly and two cubs a few years ago and it was a lot farther away than this, I would have peed my pants if I'd gotten this kind of look

This image is just wonderful to me because the animal is seated in its environment, suspended motion for a second and a great expression. Is this full-frame? Very nice composition.

It's a bit cropped (bottom and right), about 75% of full frame.
