Perched

This was shot of a black bear cub last weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I wanted to call it the "the worst shot I've Ever Taken" but that was too long. While I like it as a widlife shot, I felt guilty after taking it. I only took 5-6 shots of this guy before he started to do a distress whine. I realized that the sow and his twp siblings had made it across the main road but he had not. He was trying to get across but a mob of people prevent him from doing so. I put my camera back in the car and with the help of one other made a part int he crowd for him to scurry back to his family.

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm lens at F/5.6 and at 400mm. He was so close I only trimmed the edges a bit. Not much cropping at all.
