Pretty cool shot. I like the focused look and the fact that the face is so clearly visible while being surrounded by the splashing water. I also like the diagonal line created by the splashing right paw, face, and the splash over his left ear. For me, the splash created by the right paw really gives this one a sense of action and impact.

Coverpage material, Chas. Nothing more to add. Hope I can make something like this someday.

You can feel the power of this bear. The uplifted paw is wonderful.

Great headon shot Charles, and the amount of the surrounding splashing water shows the intensity of his run. Well captured.

OMG!! Love it (and jealous at the same time)!!

[Grady Weed]

I agree with Judy and Steve! If he was charging you....well.....heart and a clean pair of drawers were in order. Huge emotional impact here Chas. But you know that master Yoda. Super cool image. A NG winner.

The Charge - Wow, what an action shot that is. You got a lot going on there. Perfect read on the exposure. Sweet and a little scary. What lens were you using?
