      That's a very healthy looking bear! Nice capture.

      Thank You - they all looked good considering they had only been out of hibernation a week or so - some looked skinny for bears but that will soon change looking at the shear quantity of food they put away :)

      This is an excellent shot! The lighting, the composition, the background, the fact that this is wild, etc... And the same with your other two shots.


      (Assuming these are U. a. arctos?)

      Thank you very much - it's lovely that others enjoy my images as much as I do and take the time to comment - much appreciated.

      Yes they are indeed Ursus arctos the European Brown Bear
      and it was a joy to spend 4 or 5 days enjoying their company too
