Exposing for black bears can often prove difficult. Full length images are often best taken with overcast conditions or in shadowed environment. Fast glass, high ISO, and good stability technique both on and off the tripod will increase your keeper ratio.

Hi Chas, What a great Black Bear image. Nice composition and beautiful detail in the black. Looks like the bear is pushing the limit of the limbs it is on!!
Hope our paths cross again,
Best,
Howard Burkert.

As was mentioned you nailed the exposure. The fur detail is great. I usually don't like the high key BGs, but the black fur and its detail negates any glare from the BG.

Your the man! Chas this great. Exposure is dead on to say the least. Perfect! I wish I had this one on my wall.
