Thanks both. Re. the fish, I agree, but when we were there, the fish were pretty scarce most of the time. The story was that the canneries were taking in more down stream.

Good work! This is an excellent photograph. Perfect shutter speed for the water.

Yeah, this is great work. Good composition, sharp features in the subject, nice looking water. In particular, I enjoy the lighting on bear - the fur has a nice luster that is generally missing in similar photos.

The only thing that could have made it better? A fish for the bear.
