Our second run in with a wild animal (less than an hour of entering the park) was this griz. This was shot through a dirty car window after he got to close for comfort and I jump into the car. Again no crop and I was shooting at 75mm.

Thanks for looking.

Hello John

Close encounter..... The image seems soft around the Eyes/Head just oof slightly.

Those long claws are lethal .

What a great close encounter! Aesthetically I would have hoped for some frames where the road was not so evident, but this is a good view

Nice encounter. Wicked claws. Interesting fur. I like that you captured his paw off the ground to indicate movement.

Less than an hour and you spot a Grizz, great timing I would say! Nice work catching this guy full frame, I like the composition too. On my monitor the bear does seem a bit lacking in vibrancy. Several possible causes for this, but if others are seeing the same effect it might be worth punching up the saturation/contrast a little bit.
