Description

We were at Chinitna Bay in Lake Clark National Park looking for coastal brown bears. This particular day these two coastal browns spent as much time playing around as they did fishing. It was great fun watching them.

Wonderful image. Inclusion of the seagull helps to define the location. Although some may prefer more space around the bears, I prefer it as is. Great title and those paws and claws are impressive.

Thanks Jim. I tried cropping to various degrees and this particular photo also looked the best to my eye.

Hi Timothy
It’s fun to see how playful these Brown Bears can be. The framing is good and the detail is spot on.
