Cute bear!

Always great when they stand up - this one checking out the arrival of a higher-ranking bear.

Canon 5dII, 17-40mm, ISO400.

Lovely pose and well captured!
Nice to see something else from this place.

17-40mm Pete

Nice image with lots of habitat context with the animal Still big in the frame. So many of these shots are presented with the squashed perspective of a telephoto, this is a refreshing change.

Cracking shot! Did he then unzip the front of his suit and take a leak?!!

Well caught, not sure about the cute bit though

Certainly goes against the tide of all the other bear shots out there. Nice view - how wide were you with the particular shot?
