Great shot!!! Love the crispness and clarity. Just how did you get him to turn his head towards you? :)

Hopefully, turning his head was the end of his interest :)

Nicely done. Hope he wasn't eyeing you up for his next meal.

I was about 50-60 yards from the Grizzly, but he was across the river from me. There were only 4 of us photographing him. Usually, when a bear is sighted in Yellowstone, there is a "bear jam." Traffic gets blocked in both directions, the rangers come and try to get people to get farther from the bear, and finally the rangers set off a loud bang that scares the bear off. But we were maybe an eighth of a mile off the road and not visible from the road. We had almost an hour with the bear. When we first saw him he was trying to sleep but couldn't seem to get comfortable. After about 10-15 minutes, he got up and dug like crazy, with dirt flying in all directions, and then laid down with his hip in the hole he had dug and went sound to sleep. After another 20 minutes or so, a couple guys came down the river in a boat. That woke the bear up so he got up and posed for us several times and then slowly walked off.

As a compliment, your photo is perfectly horribilis!
