Taken at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska. This bear broke its jaw in a fight a few years ago. He still fishes on occasion but mostly steals fish caught by other bears. As soon as he arrived at the falls, all the other bears ran away.

Rachel despite his broken jaw and large scars on his left front leg he seem in relatively good shape. I like the eye contact and the habitat aspect of this image.
Hi Rachel, good to see him looking healthy, despite a broken jaw. I like the eye contact, and that he is about to go into the water. Maybe a little tight on the right.
