Sweet capture Stuart of the grizzly family and you did well to capture them all together in soft lighting. what a great experience for sure.As much as I like seeing the environment I might be tempted to crop at the water line making the bears more of the focal point. Glad your back safely :)

resubmission with severe crop???

[Tom Redd]

First, wonderful shot, I love the reflection. It is a shame that the back of the sow was cut off a bit, but still, what a wonderful experience and capture. Good for you. Both crops are great, but I will give the crop as originally posted my vote. Well done.

The original post gives us an idea about the habitat. I would have liked the entire reflection of the mother in the image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I have to agree with Sabyaschi on this the crop is too severe for me.

Original Post = OP

Stuart - I too like the OP but wish the reflection included the entire bear.

TFS,
