Awesome stuff man. Just do us all a favor and don't pull a "grizzly man."

Stay safe.

lol yeah.. my x girlfriend's dad tranes bears and other wild animals.. and i allways tell her that they are just that WILD, and in a split second they snap... she sais no, no they dont.. bla bla..
anyway yeah.. i dont like to be too close to grizleys, these are 100% crop at 400mm with my 300d, so there is that 1.6 crop factor too...

Wow, that's excellent, I wish I could see wild Grizzly's... the most lethal creature in Britian is, I believe, the badger

Also, hope you don't mind, I did a bit of PS editing on your pic. I've just started PS and am getting my hands on any editable material to try new things

If this is not kosher, let me know and I'll delete the pic

Nice experience to see and photograph one of these in their natural environment. Nice to have a body of water between you and the Grizzly as well but the shots look good even at a distance, The first shot in particular...very nice!

Wow, what an amazing experience for you.

I definitely like the edit. I was going to suggest you might want to dial down the exposure just a tad and bump up the contrast and saturation.

Don't get too close to these awesome animals!

Awesome. I just love grizzlys and all Glacier has to offer.

Just keep your eyes open ( and distance ) for mama and cubs.

Friggin absolutly beautiful shot. You are the man. Damn that says"Outdoor Photography Magazine" all over it..

PS. I hate you for living in Montana

Awesome captures, but they do need a little more contrast. The one edited looks better.

Pay aint all its cracked up to be. Living where you do, getting pics like this in this surrounding -- you have it well my friend. great pic and a great edit too.

Man.. how cool would it be to say "I was out looking for bears today..."

Great shots

Beautiful shots. I'd give up a good portion of my pay to have the opportunity to see things like this! I think I would be glad to have the lake between me and the bear, though! I read a book called "Night of the Grizzlies" about grizzly attacks in Glacier. Very scary!
