This is as close as I've gotten yet to a specific shot that I have been wanting for several years. I've wanted a full frame image of a black bear staring right into the camera with just the face taking up the entire frame. Even at 600mm, that requires a very cooperative bear that's willing to come to about minimum focusing distance. I didn't compose it perfectly, but it's close to what I wanted.

Thanks mitesh, an incredible image.
Congratulations and please stay safe.
The eyes are in focus, the nose not so much.
There are still tons of files from my trip to Ecuador last November that are marked for processing but I didn’t get to do it until now. Here is one of them...

The second one is a real beauty. It would make a beautiful print.

A print of the second one on metallic paper would look spectacular.
Thanks for the comments. I agree it is bird photos like these that I do print. Even though most of my stuff is tighter work, they don't really do well on a wall. Something like this GH does. I will consider this one next time I print. I have mostly been printing on metal the last few years.
