This is great, a fine capture. v

Karen Moen		15-May-2017 07:38
I love how the two bears are outlined by the light and how you captured their facial expressions in an area that would have been in shadow. Marvelous exchange of the sow and cub. This weekend in Yellowstone. a white female wolf was found brutally wounded and had to be put down. We humans truly are the most dangerous of animals. Voted.
