Looks more worried than wild! Not quite sharp.

Not a very sharp focus, but if this is truly a bear in the wild that's understandable! How did you get so close to get shallow DOF within the face? The look in his/her eyes seems sad and contemplative. Points added for bravery!

Had this beeen more in focus around the nose, I would have given you a 10. I like th eyes and the color. Hopefully you used a zoom lens (or the bear just had its lunch and wasn't hungry) Lol

Pity that the image was shaked, otherwise would have been a ribbon one.
