Hi Steve,
Nice interaction you witnessed. How old is this grizzly? Cropping from the top to remove the bright white band will bring the focus on the subjects. How did this situation pan out? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I agree with Sabyasachi on the crop. Great little story here, would love to know how it ends!
I really like the frosty feeling and the coyote's expression.

Hi Steve, looks like a young bear and you have to feel for it. I like the imagery of the two and it does convey what is happening.

Cropping, for me just a hint off the foreground to lose the snow, the 'wolf' looks moderately sharp but the bear isn't sadly, so perhaps a smaller f stop might have been better as you had the SS. Is this image cropped? I prefer the OP, as Peters is just too contrasty and has introduced more noise IMHO, probably as it looks sharpened overall oppose to selective, sorry Peter. ;)

Does look like a young bear but still a mismatch except for experience !! Great interaction

Would only take some from the top, agree with Steve on the re post being a little dark/contrasty

.... btw Hayden Valley looks a lot different there than it did in January :) Saw the Mollie wolf pack from a distance but no chance for pictures ... just enjoyed the scene !!!

Great interaction between the two. I love the intensity on the coyote and do agree taking some off the top to balance the image.

Hi Steve, great interaction well captured here, agree with the others on the bright spot on top. I loved the intensity shown between these two competitors.

Way to go. Very nice capture of this behavioral interaction.

I am heading to YNP for a week, starting Thursday. Looks like the bears are active...can't wait.

Best,

Chas

Very nice. I think I saw the series on the YS forum. Peter's version is a little too crunchy imho.

Hello Steve,

Wow! I really like this picture!!! What a powerful moment captured on pixel! I prefer a lot better the original post. I think that the suggestion to crop a part of the top a good one. The question which come in my mind is what happened next???

Cheers and Thank for sharing :-)
