Brown bear running

Like many this summer I spent a week at Martinselkosen with the bears. The weather was not the best and some nights were not photographicaly good but the experience is amazing. This bear decided to run across a boggy patch, I had the 300 plus converter on and no opertunity to change lenses, initially I thought cutting the body in half because the lens was too large would ruin the shots, viewing them later I decided I liked the large image size only showing the front half of the bear.

I think I would like more room on the right but a great image. Must be nice to get something that "over fills" the frame

great light and detail, not entirely sure about it in some ways though, i don't think the pose isn't quite there for this close a composition, different image though

Lovely action caught here,with great detail thoughout the bear,very nice to see Paul

a beautiful looking animal Paul. Ideally it would have a bit more space around it IMO, but still a nice image.

Tricky situation but handled very well with some great detail and action portrayed. I think I would have liked a 'landscape' orientation to give the bear some more space all round and contextualise the action.

The composition works for me, it really concentrates the attention on the action.

good action capture Paul. I like the comp.
