Eatin' Fish

Gallery: WildlifePosted March 11, 2013298 views6 comments

Hey everyone! I just returned from Florida! I had such an amazing time there! Huge thanks to everyone who helped me get there, it means a lot. I have to narrow down more than 2000 images, so I thought I'd share some newly processed images while I get everything from Florida ready to post!

This image is from Haines, Alaska. This is one of the three orphaned grizzly cubs that I had been posting last year. He was chowing down on some fish, and then took a quick glance at me to check out what I was doing.

I absolutely love the expression on his face! He just looks so stinkin' cute!

Thanks for lookin' everyone!

Please check out the larger version for best viewing!

Wow, you're right, he really is cute. It's the eyes. They just get right to ya. Very nice detail in the fur. Good comp although some may not like the fish part. I didn't realize that the cubs were orphaned. Any idea what happened to them?

This has a big cuteness factor to it Jenanya, despite the fact that he is chowing a poor fish. Nicely done, I would only tone down the sharpening of the beach sand a bit. I am looking forward to your images from Florida.

Super cute bear cub

I really like the eye contact. I am hopeful these little guys survive the winter.

Sweet Portrait Jenaya!!!

A 10 on the cuteness scale! Great detail in the hard to see eyes.
What an opportunity to photograph something like this
