Really beautiful John. Would make a very saleable travel photo.

I've sent you a PM by the way if you have the time to take a peek

Shot and a half John :toast: :toast: :toast:

Judging by the DoF and perspective I'd guess this was a sub 300mm (you don't give a lens spec) - I suspect you were pretty close to this magnificent beast?

Another WOW!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

What an incredible experience and a fine animal - a testament to your skill that you managed such an incredible shot while being looked at by a grizzly!

One of the most appealing shots I've seen for a long time.

Hi John,

What an image this is. Incredible. Be very interested to know a bit more about this shot, how it was taken etc as I know a lot of other people asked questions in the other forum which you obviously haven't had time to reply to. Would be great if you could. Wonderful image
