If this was in the wild, I sure hope you were in a bus! This is exactly how most people probably imagine what a bear encounter would look like. Good sharp shot, with overall pleasing composition. Good work. -danny

I don't understand this crop for this shot ... that dead background space image left. It's only effect seems to have been to place the real dynamic elements of the shot dead centre, which simply pull attention away from them toward that dead space - the eye is constantly drawn there, and there is nothing there to add impact. Cropped almost square to the edge of those water drops and you'd have a fabulous image. Your white point seems a touch bright, also - a touch more graduation through the tonal range would have brought out the depth that you have captured I think. Great moment, but let down by your editing I fear.

Oooooooh. . . I sure hope you were in a zoo for this one. That would NOT be a face I would like to see close enough to get THIS shot -- even with a mega zoom lense, huh??? Zoo or not, this is a great capture of a very ferrocious wild animal!

Wow. I found the 10 for this challenge.. Can't make this look any wilder, maybe with his maouth clamped on a camera. Can't wait to see the details of this shot. Great work...

Yikes! We were in grizzly country this summer. I'm sure glad we didn't see this! Excellent catch.
