It is with good reason all of the other bears moved out of this old guy's way.

Mate, in one word: WOW!!

Hi Chas, I love your bear pictures and this one is no exception. I love the moment you captured, the standing pose, open mouth, and water falling off the bear. Thanks very much for sharing.

[Danny J Brown]

What a beast! Those front claws are amazing. My favorite of your recent bear shots.

[Steve Canuel]

Pretty cool shot. First thought that popped into my head was one of those monsters rising out of the ocean from an old Godzilla movie. Really like the BG greens and the dripping water.

[Harshad Barve]

Wonderful shot Chas

That's one wet bear, Chas! The exposure is spot on.

[Ken Watkins]

I can think of nothing more to add other than congratulations on your stunning image!

Really like the way the bear is standing in the river with the drops of water coming off. The soft light really brings out the details in the bear as well.

Charles, I like everything about this image- what a grand bear. Excellent exposure!
