Really nice set. No matter what you used to shoot 2, you were too close. The detail is tremendous, feels a little intimidating viewing it. :thumbup:

Used the 80-400mm at 270mm and then cropped the photo to include just his face. While it appears the bear was starring, he actually wasn't. It was more of a passing glance that I captured as he swung his head.

Thom,
Nice shots. It is hard to imagine the speed and strength of these bears. I really like the cropped head shot!
