Sharp and clear, wonderful bg.

at the right moment great risult very beautiful i like it congrats

Nice shot, on the right moment. Beautiful lit and nice background. Regards.

Wonderful capture of nature at it's best! I hope you were at some distance. So sharp and clear. My camera would have been shaking.

Great capture with surprisingly good technical quality! I mean considering the supposed fact that it was taken from distance and a tele lens!

Thanks everyone. I'm not sure on the exact distance, but it wasn't very much.....guessing 25 yards. I shot this at 170mm with a 100-400mm lens. There was a fair crop involved by the time I got done, but still 6.5mp left from the full 10mp...pretty much just off the sides. I guess if I ever get too interested I could do a setup using bear sized objects, those figures, and a tape measure.

are they singing Carmen? Or is this the way bears do dentistry? Anyway, what I really like about this shot that it's a portrait and at the same time it shows the environment. Usually portrait photos filter out the environment. Here the DoF is perfect. The background is clearly distinguishable, yet it doesn't distract from the bears. Maybe the next time you could get some nice girls dance can-can just behind the bears to give it that inter-species musical feel. Cheers, Micheal

Thanks, Michael. What a great idea with the can-can girls. You're right. It gives it a whole different feel and really livens it up. Now, if I can just find some willing girls next time.

LOL. Brilliant! Is the musical called "Bear with me?" Cheers, Micheal

this is my fav one from the album.

perfect composition and timing.
