[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another photo of one of the adorable Kodiak Bears at the Pretoria zoo. Close to the side of the pen is a stream in which this bear was having a lovely swim.

Obviously this caught everyones attention, but this guy was just as fascinated with us humans as we were with him! Being so close to the side I got a good chance to snap away and get some really nice close ups of his face. I like this one because of the eye contact. It almost appears to be a posed portrait!

Enjoy!

Hi Johan.

I like the cropping of this shot and the detail, a bear's face is something you don't get to see very often up close. Am I right in saying that Kodiak bears are the biggest in the world, even bigger than polar bears? I remember reading it somewhere...anyway, nice work.

TFS,Aqueous.

Very nice POV. The colours, framing and DOP is well done! I think the bear had a secret to tell you! (eek very cute, but to close to those big teeth)

Thanks for the view

Hi Johan!
If only you didn't cropp his nose, the shot would be perfect!
