[font=Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif]Canon 7DII EF70-200mm f/2.8, 1/500sec, f/8.0, ISO 125 [/font][font=Times New Roman]This young Rocky Mountain Grizzly is on the USA endangered species list. She lives in an isolated area of northern Wyoming along the border of Yellowstone National Park. Last summer just at dawn, I photographed her eating clover among the wild flowers at 10,000 ft. Hearing the sound of my camera shutter; she slowly raised her head to see what was going on. Moments later she disappeared over the ridge into the safety of the vast Beartooth-Absaroka Wilderness.[/font]

Fantastic find. A touch over on the contrast.

Great eye contact. I agree that the contrast is a bit much here but otherwise a beautiful image--and from close range!

Not an easy light when you're dealing with wet fur, a touch less contrast and brightness might help to slightly soften the 'crunchy' appearance. Lovely pose and alert expression with nice dof for detail.

A great image. As others have said, it's sharpened too much and the contrast is too much. With a little (less) PP you have a marvelous photo.
