Todd , Bear seems to be very busy here and plenty of fish too
Different POV here and works very well

Hi Todd, very strong bear shot here, and from your exp info, looks like a very good high iso capture in not such great light. The back of the fish is a great little detail, as is the bears intent expression, and its poised posture. Also liked the textures and sharpness of fur around the face. If anything I would have a go at lightening the bear a little and darkening the highlights in the water to try make the broken water BG just a little less busy.
Cheers

Like the unique angle and the eyes. Like the fact you can see the fish as well.

I like the concentrated look on the face of the bear, together with the paw swiping the fish. Good that we can see the fish too.

Love the fish and the look on the bear's face. I like the highlights in the water, gives it a cool crispness for me. I might hit the whole thing with a touch more NR varying the amounts on the bear and water to smooth it up a bit yet minimize the loss of sharpness you captured.

Todd, nice intensity captured on the part of the cub. I like the fact that you got the salmon (chum it looks like) in the frame, and I can see the common light ring of fur on the cub's neck. And I have to know... did the cub get the fish?

Todd- nice action shot. I like the different POV used to include the fish.

TFS,

Thanks for the comments everyone and yes he did get the fish although he just played with it as mom had caught one also that they ate.
