This image is pretty simple, it’s just a Grizzly Bear and the surrounding greenery that is what makes up the Khutzeymateen, especially in the estuary.

I shot this image at f/4.5 to try to get the grasses that were in front of the bear as blurred as possible, and since I didn’t have an f/2.8 lens with me, this was the best I had.  There was enough grass in front of the bear, that even without the f/2.8 lens I was able to get a smooth foreground to this image.
