Wide-angle bear.
As discussed previously, it's not easy to get something fresh from well-visited sites especially without extraordinary conditions. I had little luck in that department but did manage a few wide-angle shots that I thought worked OK. As you can see from the look in the bear's eyes, he's not entirely comfortable being that close.

Canon 5dII, 17-40mm lens, ISO400.

Hi Pete

Saw this shot on your site,a bit different from the norm,agree with your comments about the eyes,a bit unsure of whats ahead of him but I think this tells a seperate story! I like it!

It looks pretty good although I get the impression he is not too keen on you taking a picture. Overall it seems to work pretty well.

Great shot, but I don't think I would try it with an animal that dangerous.
Well done.

HE's not comfortable?! :eek:
I like it very much, although I prefer it with a little less sky showing.

Don't think I would be that comfortable with that big beastie! A stunning image IMHO, with a lovely light and good detail and comp.

Would like to see these one day, they are lovely really :biggrin:
