"Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you." This colorful expression seems less charming when a hungry bear is staring at you as if you are an amuse bouche. Alaska.

Nice low angle and that bear certainly has his eyes on you.

I've really enjoyed your latest series of images, Ian. Seems to me like everything is lined up perfectly here, including the "layers" in the background. Nice one.

Since you are posting this neat photo one can assume the bear found lunch elsewhere? Very nice pose, colors and composition. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, the dark BG is a key element in the strength of this image as is focuses all the attention on the bear. Excellent idea to include the entire reflection.

Really nice work Ian. I like everything about this...except that I don't have a larger version to enjoy it more.
