Fishing in Katmai

The bears are able to balance themselves precariously on top of the

roaring falls in wait for salmon.

Nice picture a.n.

Nice capture as is, but it needs a salmon jumping up tbre bear's  mouth  to take it to the next level. Great exposure and light!

Thank you Rolph and Kenneth.

Kenneth - the salmon in to the bears mouth would be great! Except here I was trying to get falls to be milky with a slower shutter speed and at the same time trying to get the bear sharp. This was difficult even when the bear was standing still and required *many* shots to get one sharp image. When the salmon come out the bears get excited and don't stand still as they try to reach and grab one. I do have high shutter-speed pics with caught salmon in their mouths (but the water is not as beautiful).

I like this image too,but I prefer the other one!Regards..

Ha! Here is it. The photo I liked so much. No salmon, it seems? Poor bear. Beautiful photo though.

n you have managed to get your milky water scene with the added spectacular Bear in the image. The kind of photo I aspire to. Kind regards Louise

Thank you Anne, Giuseppe and Luoise! It was a wonderful sight to see in person.

This one goes to my favorites right away.

Thank you Jorge - Happy to know you like the image enough to add it to your favorites.

I think you have achieved a great balance between the sharpness of the bear and the silky water.  It must have taken great patience to get that just right!

I also like the composition, the bear is placed perfectly and my eyes follow the cascading water to the rock in the top right corner.

Sincere Compliments

Great capture with lovely colors. I really like the bear's stance and expression; he is so intent on getting his food! Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing. :)

Excellent
