Watching You

I took this photo of a grizzly bear in the Khutzymahteen Grizzly Bear Preserve in British Colombia in the Spring as it grazed on sedges. The bears have become acclimated to the presence, of visitors, but they still keep a watchful eye on us. I debated cloning some of the oof grasses near the bear’s eye, but decided to leave it as is. Cropped to about 80% of the original.

Great details and nice close up, I really like, how he’s keeping an eye on you.
Since you mentioned that it is 80% crop, if you have some more canvas at the bottom, that would help the frame.
