Grizzly Ready to Charge

Description

I saw this Grizzly at the Indianapolis Zoo. It was laying around like usual. All of a sudden, I saw it getting up and out of the middle of no where he charged to the spectators. The bear made a quick stop when he hit the moat. The zoo keepers came running. When everything calmed down, I asked them if he does that often. They told me no that when the Amish children visit, there is something about the black and white that causes him to charge. So Interesting.
I used the Topaz Filter Impression to put the finishing touches on this image.

This is a great shot Jane! That's a very interesting observation about the "black and white" color that causes him to be aggressive. You captured that look at the perfect moment! #11619257
