Couple of Brown Bear Fishing Shots

....I'm always amazed when I go back through files and find shots that didn't get my attention first time through.

Because you didn't time then? Now you do and can come back to most of images that you've missed seeing before in a new light.

Great shots, I think the second is my favorite.

Thanks, folks, glad you enjoyed.

That's part of it, Izzie. Also when I go on a shoot many times I have in mind what I'm trying to get. So when I cull I pull out the things that fit my preconceived notion and skip over the others. After some time passes, I'm looking more objectively rather than for the specific thing I had in mind.

Sounds plausible anyway...

Excellent shots. #1 is my fave. I love the isolation of the bear within the rushing water, and the "expression" and body posture as it waits and looks for a fish. Great stuff!

Yes, Dan, I've been meaning to say, these are all really outstanding, but I especially love #1.

Thanks, Matt and Janis. Now after the fact I wish I'd had the presence of mind to try some slow shutter shots of the bear sitting in the water. That could have been interesting. When I go to a location specifically to photograph a certain subject, I'm really bad about getting tunnel vision with a predetermined image in mind. Doing so makes one overlook possibilities. It really is more enjoyable to just take one's camera and wander about.
