WC451-McNeil River

Shooting data lost. Photographed in July 1995 to Velvia slide film from an Olympus IS-3, scanned to digital with a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000.

A gloomy, rainy day, but I like the Big Boys focused on the Chum Salmon.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

These guys definitely have eyes for only one thing. I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those stares! Nice shot, Jim!

I feel cold just looking at it ;-) You can feel the power of the water. Is it just me or do the 2 bears in the centre seem a bit dark?

Kind of wish more heads were turned camera-wise, but this is still a postcard worthy shot!
