Big brown bear

[Charles Glatzer]

Brown bear, AK

This was one tough old big boar. The numerous scars suggest plenty of battles for dominance.
I think this guy is full of character, with his coat, etc, telling quite the tale.

Incredible capture, Chas. As a viewer I can almost "feel" his many years of "experience".

Well done as usual!

[Morkel Erasmus]

Blistering IQ as usual Chas...and he certainly is a character.
I like how the wet fur is echoed in the flowing reeds/grass around him.

[Marc Mol]

Love the colour and image quality Chas, with the wet fur texture & detail well portrayed.

Like the wet fur with the drops of water. The green vegetation adds some nice color.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Another fine image...great textures and colors.

[Pieter de Waal]

Love these bear shots and this one with the wet fur adds a different look at these magnificent beasts. Nice IQ and like the green vegetation with the water splashes adding to the action. TFS
