 I didn't even remember this challenge existed when I took this photo. My dad has a full mount of a standing grizzly that he got up in Alaska. I figured it would be a fine chance to play with my new Sigma lens, so I grabbed some photos. When I saw my reflection in the eyes, it reminded me of an animal staring down its dinner, and hence the title.

Editing here is Done all in lightroom. I like that lightroom offers some fine tools for making great looking images. In this, I used a little neutral gradient to light up the upper right with some warmer color, and increased the sharpness and clarity of the eyes to really make them pop.
