Another bear, this one from Brooks, scrambling up onto a rock in the middle of the falls.

(eh, somewhat against my better judgement) iso 800 420mm f/6.3 1/1250

A little more space all around showing surroundings would be an enhancement, in my opinion. Only minor nit I see is the one fleck of white foam or water droplet almost over the eye is somewhat distracting.

Thanks Lon! Weirdly, that _is_ the eye. It does look very strange, but I looked at some frames in the same burst and it's the eyeball.

Nice action here Ana. I agree that there could be a bit more room for the bear to roam around in.

Agree on more room, especially to the RHS and below, but also with the bear moving I would like to see more SS ie 1/2500 to freeze the action and ensure a sharp capture. What camera and lens are you using Ana?

Thanks Ed and Stephen. I do wish I had a little more room; in this case it's the full frame though.

It's a canon 7dmkii with a 300mm and 1.4x. Usually I have the opposite problem (the animal being a speck in the frame).
