Wow! Thats lovely. Sharp, lot of details. The open mouth puts it over the top.

Cheers,

I like the tight crop for this portrait. Snow on its snout suggests he's been burrowing for lunch.

[Fabs Forns]

Fabs, what a beauty. Nice details. How close were you ? Was he responding to you ?

Pretty close, this is a vertical full frame, cropped form the left. We put some more distance, in case he felt threatened.

This picture is just full of character. The growl, whiskers, tooth, snow and color just put it over the top. I love pictures that tell a story like this.

Hi Fabs,
Great photo!! Would love to know where you got this image? Captive?? Best, Mike

Now that's up close and personal Fabs. Great detail and the snarl and teeth give it that intimate "get away from me" look.

Hi Fabs,
Great photo!! Would love to know where you got this image? Captive?? Best, Mike

Not captive, Yellowstone area. With Dale Robert Franz as our guide.

Thanks, guys.
