stunning set!

Awesome images Shelly, bruce

Great as always Shelley. The cub in #5 is terrific and I really like the sunrise shot. I know right where you took that one. Keep em' coming, reminds me of vacation

Well, thanks for sharing these Shelley... what a thoroughly enjoyable series.
Great exposure control with wonderful color and detail, good PP too.
4-8 and 13 are my favorites, and I love the sunrise image.
Very well done.

These are a delight Shelley.

Excellent captures, Shelley. Beautiful color and fur detail in these. I really like the last landscape shot: pleasing colors and lighting. I do see some halos around the mountain edges on my monitor, but they don't take away from the beauty of the image.

These are superb Shelley. I smiled at #7 thinking the flower was maybe for a partner

Another excellent series with that classic Shelley look and feel to them. Exceptional through and through!

Very nice photos. I like all of them, except the light in 9 is too harsh (it makes his fur glossy! ). Also, 9 looks too low, like you should have gotten down to eye level with him. Very nice capture on the landscape!
Thanks.. appreciate the feedback.

And you do landscapes too? Wow. The bears are great and so many good ones. Everytime I found my favorite the next one replaced it in that position it seemed.
Nice work all round. Take care. Bob
Thanks for the kind and generous remarks Bob.

Great set! I love the cub up the tree and the one in the snow.

Thanks Sean. I remember back about 3 years ago, I had NEVER seen a bear in a tree ... and in the past 3 years, have seen more than I can count on 2 hands... I guess perseverence pays off, as does being there in the spring and fall.

Where do you find all those bears? Are you carrying your bear protective cage with you from which to photograph these magnificent beasts?
Martha:
All of these bears are shot in Waterton Lakes National Park.. which is just over an hour from where I live. It is such an amazing park.
