Just looking through some of last year's unprocessed bear images as I'm going back again later this month and had forgotten what I'd taken! The sequence of shots taken around the pool (where many great shots were taken last year) are among my favourites. Hoping for more of the same this year but with some atmospheric backlit mist.

Canon EOS 1DsMII, 300mm, f2.8 @ 1/400th, ISO400

Lovely image Mark, I like how the straight trees draw you into the Bear.

Great image Mark, reminds me of a similar shot of Dannys.

Hi Mark,
Is this a Finnish bear? Lovely scene, maybe one day I'll get there.

Love it. The reflection puts this up a level.
