Debra, I love the bears in the field and the lines created by the planted rows which pull the eye away from the right side and down towards the big tree in the centre and the white fence on the left which hold the eye in the scene. Mother bear is giving you that backward look that says, Do not mess with my cub.
Thank you Harold, feedback appreciated. You are right the mother bear was making sure that I was not in hot pursuit of them. I am pretty sure there is some honey bee hives not too far from this area that might be attracting the bears. Will check it out later this week
Wow! What a great opportunity you had. And you caught it beautyfuly. Seem to be at full sunlight but colours are perfect. The pitch black bears really attract the eye. Love the split texture between the forest and the field. The white fence well oppose the black of the bears. Very well done Debra.
Thank you Yves for your comments. It was around 11 am and quite a sunny day. The sun was a little behind my left shoulder. One of those unplanned moments where you only have a few moments to get a shot or two in. I really enjoyed the moment though.
An awesome capture of this beautiful pair Debra! That glance she gave you and those footpads on the cub hi-tailing it across the field take this image to another level. I love the composition, beautiful tones and detail in this shot and in what had to be a totally unexpected and very exciting photo opportunity.
Thank you Heather, yes it was a very pleasant and total surprise. I have never seen bears along this road before. When I reviewed the couple of pictures I managed to get I chuckled at the little ones foot pads. He couldn’t get away quick enough.
