We were absolutely lucky to catch a Grizzly Sow and Cub right of the road this past Fall. Yellowstone is much different than it was 20 years ago but still has much to offer. The Sow was ever alert and posed nicely.

A nice capture of the Sow Terry, the side profile illustrates the size and muscular strength of this animals well, can't have enough Bear images IMHO. I might suggest opening up the mid tones a bit more, which in turn, will help the finer detail and slightly backing off on the saturation, just a thought, but happy as presented. Look forward to seeing more.

Always wonderful to get an image of a bear, especially a griz. I agree with Steve, might be a tad bit saturated but I like the detail.

Looks good to me when you click to bring in the darker surround Terry, It looks like she's using her senses to check out the neighbourhood. It must be a great experience to see one of these magnificent bears in their natural habitat, lucky you!

I should have explained-this image was taken at around noon on very warm September day.
Very hard to maintain great color balances.
The experience was one to cherish as they were right off the road and a testament 70-200 lens.

Thank you all.
