Placed 1^st in the challenge. An Alaskan Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) atop Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park & Preserve watches and waits patiently for its dinner, sockeye salmon. Since I wanted to use a slow shutter speed to smooth the falls, this shot took some patience. The bear was constantly swinging it's head from left to right as it looked for dinner and I had to time the shutter release at the moment of direction change to minimize the bear's head motion.
