Hello Rick,
You can almost see this grizzly's nose twitching as he takes in the scents of the morning. The technical aspects are first class and the low POV and composition with the high grass make this a treat to view.
A superb capture Rick and thanks for delighting us with it!

Hi Rick,
Excellent capture of this Grizzly Bear in great position. He seems to be happy, the impression on his face would even say he smiling. Sharp fine details, great natural BG and good lighting.

Hi Rick,

This is just precious. I can see the nose twitching as he sniffs the air. And he's smiling!! This Grizzly is beautiful with a sweet face and beautiful features. His coat is wonderful. A beautiful setting and a superb composition.

It sure did have to be in August Rick. I miss the warmth of the even autumnal sun. Nice thing about this bear which you note in your image so well is that it comes with a built in coat....and changes perfectly. We as humans seem to have to spend quite a few hard earned dollars to stay truly warm in winter....GREAT shot!
