What?? This score doesn't make sense. Should have been much higher. This is an amazing photo! Very natural, beautiful with good light and background. Very scary to someone like me who only takes photos of bears in zoos. Making it a favorite!

I would not like to be close enough to get a portrait of a hungry bear! Detail is great; color looks a little washed out for a spring shot - maybe bump the contrast a tad?

man I would like to see sharper focus in on this, but then that would require getting closer and I am hoping that you used a very, very long lens
