Very early morning surprise meeting with this good looking blonde grizzly in Glacier NP last August. Not as sharp as I would like but I really liked the pose that showed the coloring on this young bear.

The coloration is especially cool. I agree you missed some areas of sharpness, but this is certainly a memorable capture of a surprise encounter and a special specimen.

He is an interesting looking grizzly, very light coloration. The standing pose is excellent as well, but do wish we had a head turn to see an eye or a glimpse of a catchlight. Nice find and photo Bob!

Bob,
Excellent image, I do not mind the angle at all, the background adds a lot
