Great shot of a very strong and imposing animal. Good composition but I'm very slightly distracted by the fact that the feet are not level (this is however only a minor issue).

Raw power. I don't know why the scare me so much, more then a grizzly. I think it was a National Geographic show. LOL Nice shot, with good focus. Good luck in the challenge.

The bear I'm sure is very strong but the picture does not demonstrate this.

Oh my! Is he the cutest thing ever!! Great picture, could be a little bit sharper, and looks like some parts on the back are a little overexposured, Good luck :)

There is no doubt about the strength. The image is fine thoug I find the white balance litle to blueish but that´s maybe a good representation of the animals natural inhabitance. The background is not very interesting so I think you defenitly should have used quite shallower DOF (the focal length must have been long so that wouldn´t have been a problem?) and/or give it tighter croping. Think increased contrast wouldn´t have hurt. How about B&W. But, fine image.
