  The moment caught where the bear's eyes seem to communicate with the viewer or the photographer for that matter is one that is hard to duplicate and this outright makes this a very deserving First Prize Winner.

  Neat!! We saw a black bear there along side of the road too. Traffic flying by and paying no attention to it either!
Very nicely done! the sparkle off the background grass and weeds adds a lot.
And you had great light for his coat!..:)
