The Swimmer

[Jeffrey]

OK, yes, I do have a whole lot of bear images. I'll try to keep the variety interesting...

I visualized this image well before I even left to travel to Alaska. I saw something similar many years ago by a photographer whose name I've forgotten. Never forgot the photo. When this bear walked into the stream and it was up to his neck as he swam, I knew that was my moment. I'm glad I had my long lens on the camera. Perfect light and position for me. Never repeated the rest of the trip. This is full frame, no crop. Success!

Well done - I love the clarity of the water as well as the details of the bear.

Jeffrey, this is a good catch! Well done.

Nice one Jeffrey. It’s esp nice when something you want materializes in front if you.

That’s so cool Jeffrey when you have visualized a shot for years and it finally comes to fruition. That’s very satisfying.

And what a great shot! No wonder you wanted it.
