Little Coastal Brown Cub

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken at Hollow Bay , Katamai. We had rain every day except for a little sun for a few hours the first morning. This was taken the first morning when we came across a mother grizzly with her two cubs in the grasslands near the shore. She came so close to us that I did not get many images and my heart was definitely thumping as she strolled by. she payed little attention to us but was definitely aware that we were near.

Great color on the grass and positioning of the cub almost standing (I like how the paws are positioned - visible and held out). Horizon line cuts the bear at a pleasing location.

Well done Judy.

love the wet look captured. The detail captured is great and I like the pose and comp.

I like the unsure, inquisitive pose and you did a good job of capturing the misty, rainy feel.

Cuteness factor 10/10. Now I see how teddy bears were created. Great image Judy.
