SPLASH!!!!!!!
To see a swimming bear is a treat and once it's out of the water you know it's about to shake the water off. That means you get ready and hope for the best :biggrin:

Amazing but I wonder what a portrait version would be like.

Excellent and different, its hard to critique such a different shot so I won't - how wet did you get?

I Like these kind of moments a lot, very well seen and captured. I might have liked a little more room around the bear to see the water being shed but hey such a small nit when you bagged an opportune moment.. Well done.

I like the sense of motion but I don't like the way it's crammed into the frame with the legs cut off.

Hello Mister Kats

You are a very nice person but the farting and the snoring will have to stop if we are to spend another 5 nights of 14 hour sessions stuck in a Mosquito invested hide in the middle of a swamp with all these big brown bears around, next time I think I will take my chances with the bears. :biggrin: :wink: :wavey: Great shot mate one of the best moments don't you think.

A touch more than hoping for the best involved here - cracking stuff.
