Wow! All great, but for some reason I especially love #2. Those cubs looks so damn cuddle-able. Think Mom would mind?!
Must say I do find the name labels a bit distracting. But I guess youre trying to protect your images from theft, right? Though is that even an issue when you dont post downloadable images?

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Lake Clark National Park is not "reachable" by road, you must fly or boat to the NP. There are two private lodges on park property that specialize in fishing and bear photography.
The brown bear population is somewhat habituated to humans, although still a very wild animal. Each person or group has a guide with them (employed by the lodge). Standard rule of decorum is no closer than 50 yards .... on occasion a bear will move inside that distance and if it is not disturbed you simply stay still and let it determine what happens.
The bulk of my images were shot with a Canon 1DX camera body and a Canon 500mm f/4L IS lens, on occasion I used a 1.4 extender.
The large male passed within 12 meters of my guide and I .... what a great moment! The dancing cub was also fun to watch. I have a 16 shot burst of the little one on it's back legs "dancing"
I will make this trip again .... it was that good
