I was very happy to capture this photo of an Alaskan brown bear catching a salmon last summer. Everything seemed to line up perfectly, the fish were running, it was overcast, and the bear was catching plenty of food.

I like this shot very much and think is is a Solid (3 star) all day. To be a 4 or 5 star I think if the shoulder of the bear did not get cut off would get it there.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback. I got a number of shots this day showing more of the bear, but I was drawn to this one because of the fish's face being visible and the blood that was squirting out.
