Hi Marc,
You say: "The bear was just a few paces away." Despite being in a van, I'm guessing this was a pretty thrilling experience and one you won't soon forget! I like the focused and "intense" look the bear is giving to something (and you were probably glad it wasn't you!). The image looks a tad soft (especially when the larger version is viewed) - I'm guessing it's a camera shake issue, which is would be hardly surprising in this situation!
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Neat encounter. The pose is nice in that the bear is looking beyond the lens rather than directed at it. I agree it is a little soft, but pleasing none the less. I hope he gave you lots of clicks!
