Very good background control and a nicely composed moody pose make this one of the best of your bear series! Thanks!

Hey Sandy, awesome image...Did you shoot hand held or tripod? With her ears down like that, were other bears getting too close?

I love bears and I really like this picture not only for the excellent shooting technique but above all for the sweetness shown by these amazing animals. Thank you for sharing.

Jerry, I very rarely use a tripod - hand held here.
No other big bears around; mom is just watching the other cub who is off exploring about 300 feet away.
