Stop Right Now!

From last June in Lake Clark N.P. AK. We had quite a few sows around with spring cubs. While mom was clamming on the mud flats these 2 cuties had time to play. I got down in the mud for a nice low angle on my subjects. Slight crop for leveling

Hi Dale - A very humorous image with excellent sharpness and action. The low pov is great. Nicely done.

TFS,

A magnificent image imo ! The water droplets coming off the cubs claw takes it to another level !! An awesome image really full of joy and happiness !!

[Mike Hitchen]

What a shot Robert! I agree with Basil that the water adds so much context for the movement of the bears.
The opportunity to get down to the same level as these guys must be fantastic! I have mainly photographed bears from hides or viewing platforms in BC and long to be in that environment with them.
