This is the big boar John S was referring to in his "Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears" post. We could tell something big was coming by the way all the bears were reacting. Of course, they knew of its presence long before it walked onto the flats, and, when it did, we were in awe. A magnificent creature to be sure, and both man and beast gave it much respect.

Bears rule :lol:

Best all,

ROFL! Does give a different perspective of where we are on the food chain!

Looks like one happy bear. Like the inclusion of a bit of the bootleg in the background giving a sense of place. Gotta ask what's in the foreground? Looks like a fish?

Sweet shot Chas. Nice sense of motion here despite entire subject sharp. Lots of room up front.. What I really appreciate about the images that you and John Swift have shown from this trip is the low perspective that you were able to use. It is such a HUGE difference compared to shooting down on the bears.. Puts us in their world and as Rich notes, on the appropriate rung on the ladder.. see you soon Chas.

Chas Big Boar is smiling!!!! I don't think I have ever seen a bear smiling :shock:

Wonderful image from a technical perspective but it is left way back in comparison for all you can read into it !!!!!! :) :) :)

Fantastic image Chas!!!!!!!

I shoot a lot of horses and I know how important and difficult it is to capture the right moment in their stride and you nailed it. Great shot

The low angle and implied motion are great.

Enjoy viewing

Cool shot Chas. The low perspective really adds to the impact.

E.j., thanks for commenting.

I believe their " Is no bad light, only poor use of it". If one desires to be a successful nature photographer he/she must learn to maximize the potential put before them, whatever that may be. What others would consider less than ideal conditions often provides us with the opportunity to produce uniquely creative images. The gannet images we produced in Newfoundland fog are but one wonderful example; the brown bear images posted here are another.

Best,

Chas
