Not only are the technicals of this shot on (ideal DOF, crisp focus, etc) the expression on the bear's face is priceless.

Congrats.

A pouting bear. Needs to be careful he doesn't trip over that bottom lip. Mom must have said no to sweets for the day. Good exposure. Good detail.

Great shot. It's pictures like this that make people think these bears are approachable. Then they are eaten! I hope this does well for you.
