Power and Grace

A young Grizzly playing it up for the photographer. Don't you just want to go right up and squeeze this cute guy?! I wonder how he'd react....


In the Khutzeymateen Inlet, BC, Canada. Canon 1DsIII, 500mm.

Looks like you had a great time Jeffrey. Like the eye contact. You do get really close don't you?!

[Fabs Forns]

You are really killing me, Jeffrey. I am enjoying you r bear images, this one is adorable, with that wet coat and curious look. Separation from BG is good and so is the placing in the frame.
More, please :)

Looks like you had a productive trip. Comp looks good as well as detail. Took a look at the area on the web, do you know how the Hyder/Stewart area would compare as I have thought about going there.

Fabulous, Jeffrey. Love the look back at you and the wet feet.

[Jeffrey Sipress]

Yes, Jackie, I got real close. Didn't you?!

Fabs, Thanks again. The opportunities there are wonderful. There are more coming, but I need to space them as to not overwhelm the forum with them.

Todd, I really don't know anything about the Hyder/Stewart area. I just went to the Khutz, and researched and concentrated on that, except for a few days shooting eagles in Prince Rupert.

Yeah right - get real close. Its great when you can see that the animal is relaxed with your presence. You feel at ease, thus being able to take the shots you want. I like the turned back head, and the comp works well. As a matter of interest, what were you shooting from.
