More Alaska Coastal Bears, What crop is a better choice?
I thought about bht-kevin post comments and I don’t think I’m going to “poke the bear” so to speak and turn this post into some long winded battle of ethics and who can type better than others. The previous post that he was involved with did not turn out so great and caused the thread to be locked.
There is nothing that I can or would like to say that would not cause any kind of response. I have decided to remove the images and let the post disappear to the depths. I really don’t see it ending well and the beautiful bears will be overlooked.
I thank graciously those that did comment on being constructive as to what crop is preferred and I respect his or her opinions. It has reinforced my thinking that a crop can make or break a image and it is an art of balance not to take lightly.
Thanks,
Patrick

Nice shots but that last one is way too close. I don\'t care how safe you think you are. That is an apex predator and if it had the inclination, it would kill you with no effort. I think the recommended cushion is 50 yards and that appears to be 6 feet. I am not posting this to be rude, but its not something that should be acceptable in the photography community.
