This image is a happy accident as a Black Bear came out of the tree line to get a better view of us as we approached in the zodiac.  The sun was super bright and made it really hard for the Black Bear to get a good view of us, but the angle of the sun made for a large shadow on the rock further down the shore.

The shadow is almost the size of the Black Bear himself, it makes it hard to tell which is the bear and which is the shadow.
