Taken at Grouse Mountain above Vancouver. It was dusk so I had to open up the lens and boost the ISO to get this shot. The two orphaned Grizzly bears (Coola and Grinder) are much bigger than when we visited them a year ago!

I simply love reflections so I am biased.

like the idea but would have preferred just bear. Not detailed enough to give "feel" of the bear.

This is really artistic, the composition is great. Just wish the focus, clarity were a tad sharper although since the photo size is limited, it is probably a very clear photo in high resolution. 7

Great great photo. I might have used a more 50/50 comp.

Stunning reflection! Really nice job with that. The lighting is a little harsh on the "live" bear and surroundings though - I think you could soften it a little in PS. Wish I could see more detail, but I guess then I'd lose the beautiful reflection... :-/

Still a very nice shot and a unique one in this challenge. It doesn't really look like a zoo to me, but I take off no points off for that - I like the natural looking environment. :-) Good job.
