Pretty cool shot Sandy, I like the partial reflection too.

Great action shot! Love the focus the bear has on his prey and the splashing water.

I like the intensity and focus you have captured in the bear. :toast:

Hi Sandy,

Nice bit of action captured with this one. The exposure on the bear looks quite good on this one, but to my eye (especially when looking at the larger version) it looks like the water splashes might be a little blown out. If the image were mine I'd probably experiment with selectively pulling back the exposure there (starting with the splashes, but possibly all of the water).

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Very good action shot. I agree with Brad's comments. When we were in Alaska and Yukon I found it very hard sometimes to get the brown of the grizzlies and the bright water both exposed properly.

Nicely done Sandy! I like the action and composition. Looks like you got lucky with the weather as well.

nice action shot Sandy, as already stated especially in the larger version the splashes are almost blown away and , to me, a little less contrast in the bear fur at the shoulder level.

Cheers, Luca
