Got one, Mom

This cubs mother was close by monitoring the cubs fishing attempts, as well as me. When the cub was finally successful, it took the fish over to show her and it appeared to delight in the glory of that prized catch, carrying it around and showing it to it's sibling in a  "Neener Neener" sort of way.
Thanks for looking.

This bear better look out for the blitz by the other bears.  The bear is nice and sharp with the salmon showing a little motion blur.  The position of the subject in the frame is ideal.............................Jim

It definitely looks proud of it's catch!  I can picture it strutting around and displaying it's catch.  Very nice capture, Neil.  Focus, exposure and color are excellent and I think the comp is as good as you can get.
