Very nice portrait! Was this near the Icefield parkway? One thing that could improve the photo is some eye contact.


Thanks, Doug! He knew I was there, for he was slowly walking away from me. OTOH, he was studiously ignoring me and eye contact was impossible. I got some shots, about 8 km (5 miles) away of some does, with good eye contact... but those shots are not as interesting - at least in my mind. I'll post one or two when I'm back in town - early January.

Location? This guy was all by himself, about 50 yds off the road; about 20km east of Jasper.

Funny, everybody talks about the Icefields Parkway. It's a nice drive, but I almost never see any wildlife there.

I'm hoping for more, in Logan Lake, over Christmas. Last spring I spotted a Cinnamon Grizzly, but he got wind of me before I could get the 400 mounted, and so my only shot is of him disappearing into the bush. :( Of course, no bears, of any kind, at this time of year!

Merry Christmas!
