Photo by Adam Jones Photography | "This great looking bear was photographed on the Alagnak River in Alaska in mid-August when the salmon are running. Most of the old male bears are all scarred from fighting one another during the mating season. This female was fishing and just pulled her head out of the water. The water running off her face is what makes this image work for me. The image was captured on a very overcast day, with a handheld EOS R5 and the EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM lens from a small fishing boat on the river. We were able to get pretty close and the bear did not react in any way to our presence. An aperture of 7.1 was used to add a bit more depth of field for the tight close-up image."
