Wow! That's an awesome shot! Love the water flying into the air and the bears eyes looking directly at you.

Funny! Good advice, don’t go trick or treating in bear country dressed like a salmon! I’ll be sure to remember that.
Or smelling like one…..

Nice shooting! Love the intense expression on the bear's face and the look in its eyes. WOW! Before I got to Alaska late September, I was warned quite strongly about staying off those mud flats. Was walking a beach area along Cook Inlet right at the west end of the runway of ANC. As soon as my shoes started to sink in ever so slightly I knew it was time to back off and get the video I sought from a safer distance.
Exactly!! I would rather be eaten by a bear than stuck in mud with the tide coming in….

I agree with PAR4DCR. Cropping the second bear out makes a more powerful image. I think the second bear isn't doing anything so don't include it.
I agree, just would have liked both crops.

That first shot is absolutely riveting. I'd blow that up big and have it on a wall. Super shot, Beth.
Appreciate it!!!

Very nice shot, but you could be right about the shutter speed. It is really hard for my old eyes to distinguish slight motion blur. I often experience having the wrong shutter speed when unexpected action occurs.
The low light was keeping me from having a faster shutter speed. The bears were just walking slowly, till they were not!

A fantastic shot!!! I think if you include the other bear, the photo is "bears playing"; but the bear running fast towards your position is a spectacular and intimidating photo.

I agree, but thought it would be fun to have both.
