So many bear shots, so little time to review them! Wish the OOF green wasn't there and the background was a bit darker but ...

Great expression and a very nice shot. Wish the OOF green stuff was gone but that's fairly minor.

I don't mind the OOF green stuff as it makes it more of a 'peek a -boo' shot.

Love that poor guy. He spent most of his life in that tree. It was a tough location to shoot, with the bright spots in the trees.

Rich,
I recall how difficult it could be with the varying light, the shadows, etc. You've done a very nice job on this one. Congrats.

Great exposure on this little guy!! Expression in the face and the eye contact makes this image. Minnesota Black Bears do live in the North woods, so the foilage in foreground does not bother me at all. If anything it enhances telling the nature story!
