Nice shot mandy. Always remember to bring someone with you when photographing bears. That way you don't have to outrun the bear, just the person your with.

Great Capture! Very nice portrait, love the eyes and your focus is so clear! What lens did you use and how far away were you?
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.

Not only are zoom lenses good for zooming, they're excellent life saving precautionary tools. I love this picture. He doesn't look like he wants to maul anyone at the moment so that's good.
