"When we see a portrait of an animal - or a person - we instinctively look for eye contact, for a sense of the individual. This is no less true for this picture of a Brown Bear who, despite its fearsome reputation, looks gentle and yes, even sort of sweet. (OK, the salmon he was eating probably didn't view him that way).
I have always loved this simple portrait of a wild bear, sitting in the the blue water of a river on Canada's west coast, without an apparent care in the world. There is no menace in his expression, no sense of threat, just a happy, well-fed animal, only slightly curious about the man with the camera. I wish all my encounters with animals were this relaxed!"
