One-Eyed Grizzly Revenge ____ 2026

I have tried for the last three years to get the same shot. Never had the luck or chance. Great job! I will continue to try.

Interesting moment!

Great capture, though I don't know if I want to know how close to hungry bears you got for this shot.

I'm not sure why you call it "revenge." The poor animal is just eating dinner.  I have been told that when the bears are fishing they are not interested in much else so as long as you do not get into their fishing area (which they defend) they pretty much ignore the photographer.  I am going to try this just as soon as I get a 5000mm lens. (For the perspective and limited depth of field - of course)

This really is a grand image - so detailed that I can see that the bear is shedding in preparation for growing a thick winter coat.  Those teeth are very impressive.  (Maybe I'll make that a 10,000 mm lens mounted on an army tank)

Great action shot!!! Perfect on the right place. I'm curious where it was taken. Is this the Brooks falls or Mc neill river? Thanks and regards.

Wow, just how close were you to the bear when you took this shot?!  Absolutely fantastic!  Everything else has allready been said by Jerry, so I'll just give you a 7!  Very well done.  Regards, Engela

Dear Jerry,   Thank you for your detailed comment )) I have used the word “revenge” just because the hungry bear reminded me the old stories about gangsters somehow. Bears in Alaska look really hungry, especially at the beginning of “Salmon Season”

wonderful capture, beautiful detail and light. I'd like to know what lens did you use for

Thank you Andre, it was taken at Brooks Falls

Thank you Engela,  I am not quite sure about the distance ( I think it was about 15 meters, i.e. 45 feet .) The lens is 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS Canon, at 400 mm.

Thank you Niki, The lens is 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS Canon, plus Mark ll

It takes so much attention and patience... Do not give up Ed :)

I am not quite sure about the distance ( I think it was about 15 meters, i.e. 16 yards) The focal length is 400 mm

You're very lucky, the very right moment. Congrats. BR / Volker

Great timing. I have rated this a 7 even though it is a much repeated image.
