Kamtchatka Brown Bear ( M ) III

Hi folks ... I keep going with those bears :bg3:
Again one image from the Kambalnaya River on the Island
Great stuff was going on there ... truck loads of big male bears came to that spot .
This was really close to the bank where we sat ...

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous postings

Whew, don't think I've seen this one before...Menacing look from this bear and a little surprised too, those dark patches around the eyes make him look even more scary. Love the open mouth and view of those teeth. Colours and textures well rendered.

Don't mind the chap in the background but I would really like to see another frame with more environment...if you have it :S3:

Kind regards,

Hi Gabriela ... not sure I might have posted this one before , but it is developed from scratch with the darkish table :bg3:

This guy was just a couple of meters away ... but I have forgotten the close proximity because I was just so excited to shoot this . I rather like the OOF bear as it tells the story that there were more than just one bear in close range . Just wait a few minutes ... and you will get to see loads of landscape plus a single bear :bg3:

Have a good weekend

Cheers Andreas

Thank you Andreas,

I don't know bears that much, have not been in close proximity to one since I was a child. Had a close encounter once while going camping with my Dad ... both bear and us dashed for safety, lol.

Shall have a look at your next image for sure, thank you.

Kind regards,

You are blowing me away with these bears Andreas, super image - would not change a single thing.

Thanks Jon ... nice to hear your kind words about the image :wave::5

Cheers Andreas
